This Gravity-series module is built around the ITR9608, a high-performance slotted optical switch consisting of an infrared LED and a phototransistor aligned across a 5mm gap. When an object passes through this slot, it interrupts the infrared beam, causing the phototransistor’s state to change. This transition is conditioned by an onboard comparator to produce a stable, debounced digital signal.
The module is designed for seamless integration with popular development platforms via its standardized Gravity 3-pin connector (PH2.0-3P), which carries VCC, GND, and the digital output signal. Its operating voltage range of 3.3V to 5V DC makes it versatile for use with a wide array of microcontrollers and single-board computers, ensuring reliable performance in both hobbyist projects and industrial prototyping environments.
