IR Proximity Module Using TSOP IP-MUT

Product Overview

The module featured in your document is an Infrared (IR) Obstacle Detector Sensor Module. It operates on the principle of light reflection to detect the proximity of physical objects. The board features an infrared transmitter (IR LED) that constantly emits light invisible to the human eye, and an infrared receiver (photodiode) that monitors for any reflected light bounce-back caused by an object passing in front of the beam. It is highly popular in DIY robotics for basic collision avoidance, proximity sensing, and production-line counting applications.

Core Specifications
