Infrared Transmitter Sensor Module KY-005

The KY-005 Infrared Transmitter Module consists of just a 5mm IR LED. It works together with the KY-022 IR receiver module. Compatible with popular electronics platforms like Arduino, Teensy, Raspberry Pi, etc...

The KY-005 infrared transmitter module is designed to transmit coded infrared signals at a frequency of 38kHz and a wavelength of 940nm. This is outside the spectrum detectable by humans. For standalone projects this module is generally paired with the KY-022 infrared receiver.
