For more infrared detectors check the list bellow. The infrared detector circuit can be easily wired on a small veroboard or any general-purpose printed circuit board. Pin configurations of IC LM386, ...

This improved infrared detector is specifically intended for use with commercial IR remote control handsets. This little circuit is useful for quick go/no-go testing of just about any remote control ...

IR detectors are expected for many applications beyond night vision, including irregularities in machinery, ice on aircraft wings and faults in circuit boards.

Simple IR detection This easy-to-construct circuit causes a standard LED bulb to glow when infrared is detected by an infrared photo-diode or phototransistor.
