## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why are there two colors of leds? which one is the led and which one is the ir receiver?**
A: The black is the receiver and the clear is the admitted. Unlike LED's, the short arm of the receiver is attached to the cathode (positive) side of the circuit.

**Q: All the clear ir led's are emitting white light. are these supposed to generate visible light?**
A: I have noticed any visible light from the clear bulbs. I have never looked in the dark at the output.

**Q: Is there a datasheet for these two parts?**
A: No.

**Q: Is the receiver a photo diode, photo transistor or photo resistor? It sounds like a photo transistor, but just learning distinction.**
A: Fairly certain (90%) that it is a photo diode. If ur multi-meter has a diode function, u should be able to see a forward voltage drop of around .7v when forward biased.
Hope this helps

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Worked as expected
  

*by S***C on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2021*

Using these as sensors with my model railroad to determine when a train is passing a specific point. These are used to trigger electronic circuits to control actions like crossing signals and gates. The transmitter (clear) and receiver (black) work best when placed on opposite sides of the track. They can also be placed under the tracks pointing up, and angled slightly toward each other. When the train breaks the beam, the circuit turns on a small small relay that controls the signals. Can also be used to control lights on a control panel to indicate when hidden tracks are occupied. Only complaint - on the photo sensor (black) it wasn’t clear which side is cathode / anode. After experimentation, it appears to be the opposite of standard protocol for LEDs. In other words, long leg is connectedto minus; short leg to +

    Could for Experiments
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2023*

These worked perfect for what I wanted.  Less than 5 stars because the data said I could expect 18 to 20 meters range, which is extremely optimistic.  I would say 18 to 20 cm is more like it.  Hint: plan to put the spec'ed 100 ma thru the transmitter to get any kind of range.  Also, the receiver may have a 45 degree FOV, but the transmitter needs to be pointed nearly directly at it.  And to correct an answer to a question, the receiver is a photo diode, and the longer lead is the anode on both - but the receiver needs to be reverse biased.  I used 41 ohms between the LED and 5V, and 620 ohms on the receiver.

    One little trick.
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2019*

This product work as I wished to control a linear actuator. The one trick was that the I.R. receiver's (the black component) anode is the short lead. This is the opposite from the normal configuration of a diode. The reason is that the receiver is not a diode, but a transistor.
