IR Sensor (Infrared
Sensor)
Description:
An IR sensor
(Infrared Sensor) is an electronic device that detects infrared radiation
emitted by objects in its field of view. It is commonly used for proximity
sensing, obstacle detection, and motion tracking. The sensor consists of an IR
LED (transmitter) and a photodiode (receiver) that detects reflected infrared
light.
Specifications:
The specifications of
an IR sensor may vary based on the manufacturer and model, but general
specifications include:
Operating Voltage: 3V to 5V DC
Detection Range: 2 cm to 80 cm (varies by model)
Current Consumption: 10 mA – 30 mA
Wavelength: 940 nm (typical IR LED)
Response Time: Fast response (in microseconds)
Output Type: Digital (High/Low) or Analog
Operating Temperature: -10°C to 60°C
PCB Dimensions: Varies by model (e.g., 3 cm x 1 cm)
Applications:
IR sensors are widely
used in various industries and everyday applications, such as:
Obstacle Detection: Used in robots and automated systems to
detect obstacles.
Motion Sensing: Commonly found in security systems,
automatic doors, and gesture control devices.
Line Follower Robots: Used in robotics to follow a black or
white line.
Proximity Detection: Employed in automatic taps, touchless
switches, and sanitary systems.
Industrial Automation: Detects product movement on conveyor
belts.
Temperature Measurement: Infrared thermometers use IR sensors to
measure temperature without contact.
Consumer Electronics: Used in remote controls for TVs, ACs, and
other appliances.
