Essential for electronics class
Bought five of these for a university robotics project. All units worked out of the box. The documentation provided by the seller helped us integrate it quickly into our code.

Perfect for Arduino Projects
This sensor works flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. I used it to build a custom TV remote controller, and the 38kHz frequency matched perfectly with standard IR protocols. Very easy to wire up.

Reliable and compact
Small form factor makes it easy to fit into tight spaces on my custom PCB. Signal reception is crisp and consistent. Highly recommended for DIY enthusiasts.

Excellent quality control
I often buy bulk sensors and find duds, but every single one of these modules functioned perfectly. The soldering points are clean and the component feels durable.

Works as described
No complaints here. It receives signals from standard remotes without issue. Just make sure you have the correct library installed for your microcontroller to decode the signals.

Good range, sensitive to sunlight
The module performs well indoors with a solid range of about 8 meters. However, direct sunlight interferes with the signal, which is expected for IR sensors. Great value for the price.
Q: How do I mount this on a breadboard?
A: The pins are spaced at standard 0.1-inch intervals, so it plugs directly into any standard solderless breadboard without needing additional headers.
Q: Can this be used to transmit signals or only receive?
A: This specific module is designed primarily as a receiver. While the product title mentions transmitter capabilities generally associated with IR kits, this unit functions as the receiving head. You would need a separate IR LED for transmission.
Q: What is the pinout configuration?
A: The module has three pins: VCC (Power), GND (Ground), and OUT (Signal). Please refer to the silkscreen on the board or the included diagram for exact positioning.
Q: Does it work with NEC IR protocols?
A: Absolutely. Since it is tuned to 38kHz, it is compatible with most common IR protocols including NEC, Sony SIRC, and RC5, provided you use the appropriate decoding library.
Q: Is this module compatible with 5V logic levels?
A: Yes, this sensor operates comfortably within the 3.3V to 5V DC range, making it fully compatible with 5V logic systems like the Arduino Uno.
