IR LED & Photo Diode Pair 5MM

The IR LED and photodiode pair, both 5mm in size, form a fundamental component in various electronic applications. The IR LED emits infrared light when energized, while the photodiode detects this emitted light. This pair is commonly employed in proximity sensors, optical communication systems, and object detection circuits. The IR LED illuminates objects with infrared light, which is then reflected and detected by the photodiode. This interaction enables the determination of distance, presence, or absence of objects. Their compact size makes them suitable for integration into small-scale electronic devices, offering reliable performance in detecting and sensing applications.
