I bought 2 today and these work great!!

Comments about RadioShack 38kHz Infrared (IR) Receiver Module:

It would really be helpful if there was a link to a data sheet or something. It isn't good business to sell blindly. I frequently buy from RS, but probably not much longer. Documentation would solve the problem. Spending money on parts without documentation is a gamble, especially when working on repair or expensive robotics projects. Me or my business will no longer be purchasing until this is fixed.

BUSTED! The Shack switched parts on us!

The original metal frame part was wonderful, and was continuous signal acceptable. Good luck finding it. Now they shoved an all-black (no metal frame) unit in the same package, same part number. Reduced range, different characteristics, and NOT continuous signal acceptable.

SHAME ON YOU, SHACK!

Comments about RadioShack 38kHz Infrared (IR) Receiver Module:

Wasn't sure, but didn't want to order the "correct" part and wait 2 weeks for it to arrive, so bought this one, soldered it in, and it worked perfectly.

So if you have just about any Toshiba TV, this will probably work if your ir sensor goes out.

I used this for an IR Remote-Controlled robot tank, it worked great with a PICAXE processor. Removing the metal bracket helped the range a bit. [@]

I have an iMON VFD IR receiver & VFD display device. The IR receiver itself broke off and the wires were only left. I took the chance to visit this site and purchase a replacement IR receiver. Once I got it, I took off the aluminum casing from the IR receiver and soldered it onto the receiver board. The new IR receiver is shorter than the original but to its advantage, it works better than the original. The final result is that I can continue to use the VFD display and saved myself from spending another $100. Thanks Radio Shack!!!

Used this receiver in an introductory microprocessor project: adding only two resistors and one capacitor I was able to discern the full range of codes from a standard Sony remote controller. Subsequently incorporated into an old TV to add a remote mute function it operates reliably at 30 feet in full daylight.

This receiver is for 38KHz. It is compliant with Sharp and others. RCA/Philips is 36KHz. The receiver can be removed from metal frame for more versitility.

I was able to use this for what i wanted to, Things that may range of getting remotes to control things by IR. But I forgot if the package mention the pin layouts since well, i dumped it and yeah.

For people who NEED to know the pins, While the dome is facing at you, Left: Output Middle: Ground Right: Input (4.5V-5.5V DC)
