Description
The Infrared (IR) LED Receiver Diode is a small component that is used to detect and receive IR signals. It is designed to be low-cost, low-power, and compact, making it ideal for a wide range of projects and applications. The IR LED Receiver Diode consists of a small photodiode that is housed in a cylindrical package, with leads that are used to connect it to a circuit. When an IR beam is directed at the diode, it generates a small electrical current that can be processed by a microcontroller or other control unit.
IR LED Receiver Diodes are commonly used in remote control systems, such as those found in televisions, DVD players, and other consumer electronics. The IR LED Receiver Diode is sensitive to IR signals in a specific frequency range, and it is designed to filter out other signals that might interfere with its operation. The compact size of the IR LED Receiver Diode makes it easy to integrate into a wide range of projects and devices, and it is compatible with a variety of microcontrollers and other control units. Whether you’re designing a new remote control system or upgrading an existing one, the IR LED Receiver Diode is a versatile and reliable component that is sure to meet your needs.
