Long-Range Infrared Detection Sensor for Sumo Robots and Smart Projects

The JS200XF Long Range IR Sensor is a high-performance infrared sensor designed for makers who need longer detection range than basic short-range modules. JSumo describes it as a sensor with detection up to 200 cm and a wide detection angle.

It is specially manufactured for better detection of black-colored targets from longer distances, which makes it especially attractive for sumo robot applications. JSumo also suggests it for home automation, barrier sensing, and door sensor projects.

Why you'll love it

• Long detection range: Up to 200 cm according to JSumo
• Wide sensing angle: Helpful for dynamic robot detection
• Robot competition friendly: Optimized for sumo-style detection use
• Useful beyond robotics: Also fits automation, barrier, and door sensing projects
• Better black target detection: Designed for more reliable long-range sensing

What you can build

Use the JS200XF for mini sumo robots, robot opponent detection, door sensing, home automation triggers, distance-based alerts, and barrier detection systems.

Starter bundles

Pair it with an Arduino-compatible board, a robot controller, and wiring accessories for compact autonomous robot or automation builds.

Recommended add-ons

Add line sensors, motors, wheels, and a controller board if you are building a complete sumo robot around this sensor.

Technical specifications

Pinout & usage notes

Long-range IR sensors are useful when your robot or automation system needs more reaction time before contact. For best results, consider surface reflectivity, sensor mounting position, and ambient light conditions during testing.
