The Adafruit Infrared IR Remote Receiver is a sensitive, wide-range 38 kHz IR receiver board with two selectable sensor orientations — one vertical and one horizontal. A slide switch lets you choose which sensor to read from, making it easy to mount in any position within your enclosure or project.

Using a STEMMA JST PH 2 mm cable, you can wire this board without any soldering. Point any standard 38 kHz IR remote at the sensors, and the demodulated signal is output to your microcontroller for decoding. Green power and red signal LEDs provide visual confirmation that the board is powered and receiving IR signals.

Key Features

• Dual IR Receiver Sensors – Vertical and horizontal 38 kHz receivers with slide switch selection
• STEMMA JST PH 2 mm Connector – Solderless 3-pin connection for power, ground, and signal
• 3V – 5V Compatible – Works with a wide range of microcontrollers
• Demodulated Signal Output – Clean envelope output ready for microcontroller decoding
• Status LEDs – Green power LED and red signal LED for visual feedback
• Independent Sensor Pads – Optional solder pads to read both sensors independently
• Mounting Holes – Easy to mount in enclosures and on devices
• Breadboard Option – 0.1" header pads for soldered breadboard connections
