Infrared Proximity Sensor 10-80mm with Housing

This infrared proximity sensor from DFRobot detects objects at a distance of about 10 to 80 mm via reflected infrared light and switches its output to high or low. It responds within 100 µs and is insensitive to ambient light. The sensor sits in a housing with mounting holes that protects it from splash water when used on taps or soap dispensers; DFRobot does not state an IP rating. It is connected via a 3-pin cable with female connector.

Note: The connection cable can be converted to male pins with a Dupont cable M-M, so that it also fits an Arduino UNO.
