Long-Range Infrared Detection Sensor for Sumo Robots and Smart Projects
The JSumo 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.
Original JSumo product: We list this item as a distributor, so the product title now starts with JSumo for clearer brand matching.
Project tip: If you need earlier opponent detection or a wider sensing zone than short-range mini sumo sensors, the JS200XF is a strong upgrade path.
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.
