By sending IR light across a gap to a receiver, they detect when the beam is interrupted by a non-IR-transparent object, triggering a digital signal. Use them for line-following robots, object counting, safety interlocks, or any project needing precise, eye-level sensing.\u003c\/p\u003e ✅ Sensing Distance: approx 25 cm \/ 10 in \u003cbr\u003e\n✅ Power Voltage: 3.3-5.5 VDC \u003cbr\u003e\n✅ Emitter Current Draw: 10 mA @ 3.3V, 20 mA @ 5V \u003cbr\u003e\n✅ Receiver Output: 100 mA sink \u003cbr\u003e\n✅ Transmitter\/Receiver LED Angle: 10° \u003cbr\u003e\n✅ Dimensions: 20 mm x 10 mm x 8 mm \/ 0.8 in x 0.4 in x 0.3 in \u003cbr\u003e\n✅ Cable Length: 234 mm \/ 9.2 in \u003cbr\u003e\n✅ Weight (per half): ~3 g \u003cbr\u003e\n✅ Color: Black \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e💡 What is an IR break-beam sensor used for in DIY robotics and automation projects?
