Description

This slot sensor detects when something is blocking the slot between infrared emitter and receiver. When the infrared receiver detects a low input value the integrated LM393 comparator emits a digital on signal. The raw analog signal is also directly available in addition to the digital pin.

This sensor is great for counting things, triggering a machine to stop when it reaches a certain point, or detecting when a door is closed. These are commonly used as endstops in 3D printers. Another common use is for measuring revolutions of a rotating object.

One limitation of this sensor is for detecting something that’s very thin. The object being detected has to block most of the slot width to block the infrared beam of light enough to be detected reliably.

Our Customers Say Great Things

Joe does know electronics; I have yet to have a problem with this company and its fulfillment. The products are exactly what they say and they arrive usually before the target date. I think I found my online electronics company.

Joe Knows is a fantastic supplier. (That individually-labeled resistor pack is still one of my favorite items). Another great shipment of gear!!!

Love Joe Knows kits!! because he really does!!
01/24/2014
Joe Knows has some great stuff at VERY competitive prices. I would also recommend their Resistor and Capacitor Assortments; components are individually labelled and sorted and very easy to use.
02/15/2014
All of these Joe Knows assortments are SUPERB ! They come in a handy and sturdy reusable box, sorted and WELL labeled in resealable bags, and in sequence for EASY selection when needed. As I have said before, Joe REALLY Knows Electronics ! You cant get much better than this seller for VALUE, SELECTION, and INTEGRITY !
02/17/2014
Another GREAT assortment, well labeled and packaged, by someone who REALLY knows Electronics. Have purchased ALL of this sellers products and they are ALL great deals. Will certainly buy again from this valued seller!

Joe does, indeed, know
03/10/2014
Joe really does know electronics. All of the kits are well thought out. They are perfect for experimentation and general repairs. One small box is organized so that you can find any value of capacitor or resistor effortlessly without the need for large parts bins. While the semiconductor kit isn't as well sorted out, the selection, quantity of parts based on usage, and information booklets more than make up for it. Hopefully they will introduce surface mount resistor, capacitor, and transistor kits in the near future.
04/23/2014
This is the third time I've ordered from this vendor. Each time has been a great experience, the product arrived on time and they are great LEDs that I am using in several different types of projects. Thanks Joe!
04/29/2014
I LOVE these kits. A fantastic blend of components that are actually useful in most projects. Much better than those assorted bags where you won't ever use 80% of them. I will definitely buy more of these in the future.
07/07/2014
Item was as described and arrived on time and well packaged. love Joe's products, great price and they understand some of us don't like buying 1 capacitor here for 8cents, one transistor there for a dime, Joe puts them in a nice assortment "kit" and makes life so much easier - I have all of the "flavors", Resistors, Diodes, Caps.... etc. These "kits" that Joe has are just plain excellent!
07/27/2014
Joe puts out a good product. The packaging and labeling and organization is the best you're gonna find. I have several of their kits; all good and good quality parts. You get a couple of booklets to explain the components and they give you more than a few example circuits you can breadboard using this kit (of course you'll need caps and resistors) to play with this selection.
09/19/2014
Wow, nice job Joe. I totally respect your attention to detail. Much appreciated. Thanks!
01/12/2015
This is my 4th purchase of Joe Knows Electronics Kits. That statement alone says a lot. I have never been unhappy with Joes' products. Always a good selection, always packaged so I can find what I need quickly, always a good price. I hope he comes out with some additional kits. There are other good kits out there also, but Joe has always met my requirements.
01/22/2015
A great product, well packed, and quickly shipped. I really like Joe's products. They are a great firm with first class service from end-to-end.

This is the third item I've bought from this seller. I am so pleased with his products that I am willing to spend more for his great packaging an organization.
11/03/2015
I wish I had known about Joe earlier. The service is good, and the price is cheap for what you get, and they send it fast. For sure I will be ordering from JKE again.

This is not the Force. This is the Resistance. 860 of them. Together, we will defeat the Empire!

There are a lot of electronic component assortments out there. Joe Knows truly does know how to put together the best kits for the best price. The individually labeled zip lock bags for each value is a distinguishing feature.
