Enhance your wireless communication and sensing projects with our 3mm IR Receiver LED. This compact infrared phototransistor is housed in a black-tinted 3mm package, specifically designed to filter out visible light interference while maintaining high sensitivity to infrared signals. Whether you are building a custom remote control system, an object detection sensor, or an optical counter, these LEDs provide reliable performance in a space-saving form factor.
High-Speed Response: Fast switching times allow for accurate reception of modulated IR data signals.
Visible Light Filtering: The specialized black epoxy lens acts as a natural filter, blocking out ambient visible light to reduce false triggers.
Standard 3mm Package: Small footprint makes it easy to integrate into high-density circuit boards and compact enclosures.
Long Lead Design: Features standard-length cathode and anode leads for easy through-hole mounting and flexible positioning.
Wide Receiving Angle: Offers a broad field of detection, making it versatile for various line-of-sight sensing applications.
This 3mm IR Sensor Receiver is the industry standard for a wide range of electronic applications:
Remote Control Systems: Used in TVs, appliances, and toy receivers.
Object Detection: Perfect for use with an IR transmitter to create break-beam sensors.
Optical Switching: Ideal for non-contact switches and encoder systems.
Data Transmission: Reliable for low-speed wireless data links between devices.
Diameter: 3mm.
Lens Color: Black (Daylight Filter).
Type: IR Receiver / Phototransistor.
Mounting: Through-hole.
How do I distinguish between the Receiver and the Transmitter?
Typically, the receiver features a black lens to filter ambient light, while the transmitter often has a clear or blue-tinted lens.
Does this require a specific wavelength?
These receivers are generally optimized for the standard 940nm infrared spectrum, which is used by most common IR remote controls.
Can this be used in bright sunlight?
While the black lens filters visible light, extreme direct sunlight can still cause interference. For outdoor use, mechanical shielding or signal modulation is recommended.
