Reliable component
Used several of these for a line follower robot. Consistent performance across all units.
Description
This photoresistor sensor module detects light intensity and functions as a photoelectric switch for electronic projects. It includes Dupont wires for easy connection and is available in either a 3-pin or 4-pin configuration to suit different circuit requirements. The compact design facilitates integration into breadboards or custom PCB layouts for automated lighting or sensing applications. Ensure the operating voltage matches your microcontroller specifications before connecting the module to prevent damage.

Solid build quality
PCB looks clean and soldering is good. Potentiometer feels a bit tight but works.
5 FAQ
Q: Does it provide analog output?
A: This specific module provides a digital switching output. For analog, check our LDR sensor without comparator.
Q: Are the Dupont wires male-to-female?
A: Yes, the included wires are female-to-female jumper wires suitable for breadboards.
Q: What is the maximum current draw?
A: The module draws approximately 10mA when the output LED is active.
Q: Is this compatible with 3.3V microcontrollers?
A: Yes, the module operates comfortably between 3.3V and 5V DC.
Q: How do I adjust the sensitivity?
A: Use the blue potentiometer on the board. Turn clockwise to increase sensitivity.
