IR Infrared Slotted Optical Sensor Module

Enhance your sensing and control projects with this IR Infrared Slotted Optical Sensor Module. Built for makers, hobbyists, and professionals, it delivers dependable slot detection, clean digital output, and straightforward integration for robotics, automation, and other electronic applications.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Wide Operating Voltage (3.3 V–5.5 V)
    Compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V systems no additional voltage regulation required.

  • Precision 5 mm Slotted Sensor
    Equipped with an imported IR sensor element and a precisely machined 5 mm groove for consistent, stable detection with reduced false triggering.

  • Clean Digital Output (LM393 Comparator)
    Integrated LM393 comparator provides clear LOW/HIGH signals for direct connection to microcontrollers.

  • Onboard LED Status Indicator
    Instantly indicates “blocked” or “clear” status, enabling quick visual diagnostics without test equipment.

  • 15 mA Drive Capability
    Supports direct driving of LEDs, relays, or small loads without an external driver.

  • Secure Mounting Design
    Two fixed mounting holes allow firm installation on chassis, PCBs, or custom brackets.
