IR Proximity Sensor Everlight ITR20001 RAK12017

The RAK12017 IR Proximity Sensor is based on the Everlight ITR20001 chip and is part of the RAKwireless WisBlock series. It uses an infrared beam (940 nm) and a receiver to detect whether the IR signal is reflected by an object within a short detection range of up to 2 cm.

This sensor is perfect for production line automation, where it can verify whether a part is correctly positioned. It can also be integrated into autonomous model vehicles, for example, to detect guiding floor tracks or objects in close proximity.

With its compact size and low power consumption, the RAK12017 is well-suited for projects requiring space efficiency and energy-saving performance.
