Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

Proximity detection enables a system to make a decision based on the relative distance of an object to the proximity sensor. The purpose of proximity detection in most applications is to enable or ...
