Description
The IR LED 5mm Infrared Transmitter is a high-efficiency infrared light-emitting diode designed for use in wireless communication, remote control systems, obstacle detection, and IR signaling. Emitting invisible infrared light at around 940nm wavelength, this LED is ideal for pairing with photodiodes or IR receiver modules in a wide range of electronics applications.
Housed in a standard 5mm clear epoxy lens, the IR LED offers focused and directional emission, making it suitable for both short and long-range IR transmission. It’s compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other microcontrollers.
