Proximity Sensor

Description

About this item:

A proximity sensor detects the presence or absence of an object without physical contact. It works on various principles such as infrared, ultrasonic, capacitive, inductive, or magnetic detection. These sensors are widely used in automation, robotics, and consumer electronics for object detection and distance measurement.
