IR Infrared Receiver Photodiode LED 5mm

The product is an IR (infrared) receiver consisting of a photodiode and a 5mm LED encapsulated in a single package. The photodiode is a semiconductor device sensitive to IR radiation and converts it into an electrical signal. The LED serves as a visual indicator that activates when the IR signal is received.

The photodiode operates in reverse bias, allowing it to detect IR radiation effectively. The black coating on the photodiode filters out visible light, enhancing IR detection. The current through the photodiode is proportional to the IR intensity, enabling precise detection and triggering of circuits or devices.
