The HC-SR505 Mini PIR Motion Sensor Module is a compact motion sensor with a 10mm lens diameter, detecting motion up to 3 metres range, giving a digital HIGH/LOW output signal, operating from 4.5V to 20V DC across -15°C to 70°C. The mini pir sensor is the smaller, simplified sibling of the larger HC-SR501 PIR module — where the HC-SR501 offers a 140° angle with 3-7m adjustable range, this hc sr505 mini pir motion sensor trades range and adjustability for a significantly more compact footprint.
The mini pir motion sensor’s key simplification is the absence of onboard sensitivity and delay potentiometers found on the HC-SR501 — this mini pir motion detector hc sr505 operates with fixed detection parameters straight out of the box, with no tuning needed or possible. This makes setup faster for projects with simple motion-detection needs, but means the detection range and output hold time cannot be adjusted to match specific installation requirements the way the larger module allows.
For mini pir motion sensor arduino projects requiring tunable sensitivity or longer output delay times, the larger HC-SR501 remains the better choice — this mini module suits compact enclosures and space-constrained builds where the smaller footprint matters more than adjustability. Available at StemVolt, This sensor is well-suited for students building compact motion-activated devices and practical electronics projects.
