Add passive infrared detection (PIR) to your project with this PIR Motion sensor large lens version. Its 2.54mm pitch connector pins makes the job of connecting it to your project an easy one.

It features a large lens which allows for a long range and a wide viewing angle. Typical values for detection are; up to 9m detection range and a viewing angle of up to 120°.

The operating voltage is between 3V - 5.5V with a max current of 100uA. So, it's operating requirements won't be much of a drain on power, which is good news if your power is being supplied by batteries.

Features:

It has a long detection range, up to 9m.

It features a wide viewing angle, up to 120°.

Very low power consumption.

Kitronik's Linear Actuator converts the circular movement of a 180° servo (supplied) into motion in a straight line, one way and then the other. It can be mounted to a project to provide either horizontal or vertical movement.

Linear Actuators are useful for a whole host of different applications, like; robots, automated button switching, steering racks for buggies, a point switcher on a model railway, animating a diorama display, etc. Linear actuators are also used extensively in industry and in consumer products, such as; valves, cams, floppy disk drives and optical disk drives, just to name a few.

The Linear Actuator has been cut from a 5mm clear blue Perspex Sheet, the same material as used in our servo powered Klaw gripper. There are a range of mounting holes at either end of the rack including a 3mm hole, a 3mm square, and standard servo horn holes suitable for wire (1mm dia) and it has approximately 20mm of travel. It has a gear ratio of 2:3 and the stall torque of the provided servo is 1.5kg/cm at 6V and 1.3kg at 4.8V.

Features:

The Linear Actuator converts the circular movement of a 180 degree servo (supplied) into motion in a straight line.

It is supplied with a 180 degree FS90 servo and fixings.

Useful for a wide range of applications, such as; robotics, switching, animating displays and more.

Use with boards such as microbit, Arduino, or RaspberryPi.

It can be used with a number of microbit accessory boards, such as;
-- Servo:Lite board for :MOVE mini.;
-- Kitronik 16 Servo Driver Board for the BBC micro:bit.;
-- All-in-one Robotics Board for BBC micro:bit.

Solenoids are a great way to induce linear motion for pushing, pulling or controlling switches and levers. This smaller solenoid is designed to work directly with 5V which makes it a great match for embedded projects. It has a throw of about 4.5mm and 2 M2 mounting holes on the body.

The wire lead is about 2" long and is terminated with a 2-pin JST PH connector.

These 3.7V Polymer Lithium-Ion (LiPo) batteries provide a high power capacity in a very small lightweight package, making them ideal for many applications. They are often used in portable consumer products such as Bluetooth speakers and mobile phones. The batteries are supplied with 100mm leads terminated with a JST adapter cable.

These Polymer Lithium batteries come with a built-in protection circuit that protects against; overvoltage, over current, over-discharge and also provides short circuit protection. When fully charged the battery will have a voltage of around 4.2V and when fully discharged the battery has a cut off voltage of 2.4V.

These batteries do not have a hard protective case. You should take care when housing the batteries in your design to ensure they have sufficient mechanical protection to protect the battery from any possible damage. If a battery does become damaged (dented, bent, etc) then it should not be used. Lithium Polymer batteries require special charging circuits. Do not attempt to charge these with anything but a specialised Lithium Polymer charger.

Features:

Built-in protection circuit to prevent overcharging or discharging.

Built-in short circuit protection circuit.

Robust power source under extreme conditions (-10 to 60C).

Leads terminated with a JST connector.

Dimensions:

Length: 29mm.

Width: 25.5mm.

Thickness: 4mm.

Wire Length: 100mm.

Caution:

These batteries are capable of delivering high current output. If using conductive thread, a short in the circuit (between thread) could create sparks and heat. We recommend using coin cell holders and batteries for wearable projects.

When removing the connector from a socket do not pull it out using the connecting wires as this can damage the connector.

Neither the battery nor its protection circuit are waterproof, and if being used in an environment where water contact is possible or likely then the battery should be further protected.
