KY-005 Infrared Transmitter Module 3 Pin IR Transmitter

KY-005 Infrared Transmitter Module is quite simple and consists of a 5mm infrared LED and 3 male header pins. Handle with caution, do not flash IR light directly to the eyes.

The KY-005 Infrared Transmitter module emits infrared light at 38kHz. It can be used to control TVs, stereos, air conditioners and other devices with IR receivers. It can also be used together with the KY-022 Infrared Receiver module.

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.

Infrared transmitting tube, also known as an infrared light-emitting diode, as part of the diode. It is can convert electrical energy directly into the near-infrared. Light (not visible) and the radiation out of the light-emitting device, mainly used in all kinds of photoelectric switch and remote transmission circuits.

Infrared transmitting tube structure, the principle of similar to an ordinary light-emitting diode, just use different semiconductor materials. Infrared LEDs are typically used gallium arsenide (GaAs), aluminum gallium arsenic (GaAlAs), and other materials, the use of transparent or light blue, black resin encapsulation.

The KY-005 Infrared Transmitter Module is an Infrared Transmitter Module that belongs to the series IR inter-communication sensors, along with KY-022 which is an infrared receiver module. This IR module works on a basic principle in which an infrared LED emits infrared radiation at a specific frequency of 38khz at the angle of 20 degrees in its surroundings. Mainly such type of IR modules used in remote manufacturing and IR communication industry.

Infrared emitter converts electrical energy into near-infrared light. It is also known as infrared emitting diode.
