Jaycar Infrared Phototransistor – NPN, 5mm Clear Housing, 30V Breakdown

You need IR detection that actually drives your next stage without a separate amp. This NPN phototransistor sits in a clear 5mm housing, handles up to 30V collector-to-emitter, and saturates at 0.8V max. Short leg is collector, long leg is emitter — marked so you don't second-guess it mid-solder

• NPN phototransistor – amplified output, no external transistor stage required
• 5mm clear transparent LED housing – standard footprint, easy to spot on the board
• Collector-to-emitter breakdown voltage: 30V
• Collector-to-emitter saturation voltage: 0.8V max
• Emitter-to-collector breakdown voltage: 5V
• Leg identification: short leg = collector, long leg = emitter
