An analog-output reflective sensor that has an integrated high efficiency infrared emitter and photodiode housed in a small form factor SMD package. The sensor is housed in a specially designed metal-shield to ensure excellent optical isolation resulting in low optical cross-talk. The sensor is specifically optimized for size, performance and ease of design in mobile constrained applications such as mobile phones and notebooks. The range of the sensor can be increased from 60mm to 200mm with the use of the separately available signal conditioning IC (50-6969).

• Excellent optical isolation resulting in near zero optical cross-talk
• High efficiency emitter and high sensitivity photodiode for high signal-to-noise ratio
• Low cost surface-mount package
• Can be paired up with signal conditioning IC (50-6969)
• Detect objects from near zero to 60mm (200mm with signal conditioner)
• Low dark current
• Guaranteed Temperature Performance

A diffuse type photoelectric sensor with a detection range of 40 to 600mm and terminated by a 2m cable. The diffuse type operation, where the target is used as a reflector, means that the switch is self-contained, with no external reflector or amplifier required.

• M18 photoelectric sensor

• Glass window is scratch-resistant and easy to clean
• Built-in LEDs for performance indication
• Built-in potentiometer for sensitivity adjustment
• Short and robust metal housing

A photoelectric sensor of the through-beam type with a sensing range of 50m. Consisting of a transmitter and receiver in an IP67 protected housing this device has LED performance indicators and sensitivity adustment.

• Mounting bracket
• Cable gland
• IP67 waterproof protection
• Spring-up screw terminal block
• Easy wiring

A high sensitivity Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor designed for the detection of the small movements of people, animals, etc. The small size of the detector means it can be mounted in inaccessible places and the miniaturised lens with its 64 small elements give excellent sensitivity. The circuitry of the sensor is enclosed in a metal TO-5 can giving excellent resistance to radiation and power supply noise. The device is suitable for battery use thanks to low current consumption. Suitable applications for this PIR sensor include control of lamps and lighting, motion detection of individuals, monitoring of indoor and outdoor areas, lighting management systems, activation of monitors, automatic door openers, etc.

• Black lens
• 5m Detection distance
• Detection range 100° horizontal and 82° vertical
• Operating voltage 3 to 6V DC
• Built-in amplifier
• Simplified circuitry with fully integrated circuit design
• 1µA Current consumption
• High signal to noise ratio minimises false detections

This 4 to 30cm infrared distance sensor is ideal for use in robotics projects because of its ease of use. The sensor gives an analogue output which has a 2V variation between the maximum and minimum distances meaning it can be interfaced with just about any microcontroller.

• Easy to use
• 5V supply required
• Analogue output
• 3-way JST connector - a suitable connecting cable with 30cm leads is available separately (70-6412)
