The infared proximity switch module is a reflection-type photoelectric sensor which integrates transmitting and receiving infared beams function. Infrared proximity switches work by sending out beams of invisible infrared light. A photodetector on the proximity switch detects any reflections of this light. These reflections allow infrared proximity switches to determine whether there is an object nearby.

- The Infrared Reflectance Sensor Module carries a single infrared LED and phototransistor pair in an inexpensive, tiny module that can be mounted almost anywhere and is great for obstacle detection of robot and home alert system.
- The optimal sensing distance is within 50cm (20 inches).
- Building interactive work is as easy as piling bricks, just plug it to our Arduino Sensor Shield with a buckled cable, and make it looks professional and neat.
- The Infrared Reflectance Sensor Module simply gives a digital signal when it detects infrared reflection from a person or object, so the code is exactly as the one we would use for a pushbutton.
