I bought this IR receiver (is it?) many many years ago. Always believed I had the datasheet but no. Not even sure if it is for 38 KHz.

No other marking than the "BG" in the back.

I could try to identify +V and GND pins with a DMM but I would prefer not to risk damaging it.

A Google search did not give any meaningful result.

Help will be appreciated.

 

I'm sure you will not harm it with your DVM. Some food for thought:

Its a simple photo element. You can see it here. Try searching by "KHz".

 

Hello,

There are many of those IR receivers around.
I have attached some datasheets.

What is "simple" in this context?

Is the "BG" in the catalog?

 

Yes its in the catalogue, you have to put a little effort also, it took me 5 minutes to find it. On top of that only you can measure it and compare with the real one to confirm it.

5?

 

No offence, I don't mean to be impolite.

 

For eventual future reference.

The guy that sold them to me on the counter, did not hesitate: IRM 8601 M2
