Package Includes: 1 piece x IR Transmitter - Photo Diode - 5mm
 
This is a very simple, compact (5mm), infrared transmitter/emitter. An IR LED, also known as IR transmitter, is a special purpose LED that transmits infrared rays in the range of 760 nm - 870nm wavelength. Such LEDs are usually made of gallium arsenide or aluminum gallium arsenide. They, along with IR receivers, are commonly used as infrared sensors.These devices emit infrared with wavelength of 870nm and work well for generic IR systems including remote control and touch-less object sensing. Pair them with LED 5mm IR receiver/detector.
