Vishay Intertechnology introduces a new high sensitivity proximitiy and ambient light sensor that combines long distance proximity detection up to 1.5m with Filtron™ technology in a compact 8mm by 3mm ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...
