IR Break Beam Sensor (50cm)

Infrared break-beam sensors work on the through-beam type principle, where an emitter side sends out a beam of human-invisible IR light, and a receiver across the way detects the presence or absence of this light. When something non-transparent to IR passes between the emitter and receiver, the beam is broken, triggering the sensor to output a signal.

• Exceed Temperature Limits: Avoid operating the sensor outside the temperature range of -25°C to 60°C.,
• Use Outside: Do not use the sensor in outdoor environments as it is not waterproof.

• Power Supply: Power the sensor with a voltage between DC 3.0V to 5V.,
• Installation: Install the sensor in a narrow space for optimal performance.

• 5v: Up to 50 cm,
• 3.3v: Up to 20 cm
