The proximity sensors employ a rugged brass nickel-plated housing. Their IP67 rating means they are completely dust-tight, providing the highest level of protection against solid particles. They are ...
Capacitive proximity sensors use the face or surface of the sensor as one plate of a capacitor, and the surface of a conductive or dielectric target object as the other. The capacitance varies ...
Ultrasonic proximity sensors use reflected or transmitted ultrasonic waves to detect the presence or absence of a target component. The output is boolean, that is, the sensor merely detects whether ...
In a smartphone, a proximity sensor is located by the phone speaker. It turns off the touch detection during a phone call; otherwise a person's ear would activate functions when pressed against ...
The iPhone's proximity sensor is one of its handier built-in features. When you raise your iPhone to your ear, its screen will automatically go dark due to the feature, saving battery and making ...
