It operates at a carrier frequency of 38kHz and outputs a digital signal that can be read by microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi. This module is ideal for adding wireless control to your projects with minimal wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.7V – 5.5V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReceiver Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigital (Active Low)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReception Angle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±45°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 10 meters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (approx.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.5mm x 10.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Can Build With This\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUniversal remote control decoder for any IR remote\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIR-controlled home automation switches and relays\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProximity sensor or object detection module\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIR remote tester to verify key codes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis module works directly with Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi boards. It accepts 3.3V to 5V logic, so no level shifting is needed for most use cases. Simply connect the output to any digital input pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect VCC to 3.3V or 5V, GND to ground, and OUT to a digital input pin. The output is active low and may require an external pull-up resistor (10kΩ) for stable readings, although many breakout boards include one. Avoid long wires to reduce noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing.
