Packaging

Type Bulk

Form Sensor module on PCB with molded IR emitter and photodiode assembly

Materials Plastic housing with PCB module construction

Size Compact module form factor exact dimensions see datasheet

Pin interface Typically 3 pins VCC, GND, VOUT verify exact pin order in datasheet before wiring

Mounting Module-style installation verify hole pattern and bracket options in mechanical drawing

Thermal Operating ambient -10 to 60°C, minimal self-heating, no heatsink required

Electrical Supply 4.5 to 5.5 V, current about 30 mA, analog output is non-linear and inversely related to distance

Output examples About 0.4 V at 15 cm typical, about 2.6 V total output change across roughly 1.5 to 15 cm span

Compliance RoHS compliant
