An industrial-style infrared proximity switch in a threaded M18 barrel: screw it through a panel, set the range with the trimmer at the back, and it pulls its output line low whenever something is in front of it. Range adjusts from roughly 3 to 80 cm, and because it uses modulated infrared it ignores room lighting. The output is NPN open-collector, so add a pull-up - or use your board's internal one - and read it as an ordinary digital pin.

Key features

  • Adjustable detection range, roughly 3 to 80 cm
  • NPN open-collector output, normally open
  • Modulated infrared, so ambient light does not fool it
  • 5V DC, under 100 mA
  • M18 threaded barrel, 17 x 45 mm, about 1 m of lead
  • Actual range depends on the target's size and colour
