The LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT IR Receiver 2855040, released in June 2010, is a key component for enthusiasts of the Mindstorms theme and subtheme NXT.

Please note that this is the individual component only and does not include the NXT Intelligent Brick, software, connector cable, or any accessories.

Please note that the Power Functions IR Speed Remote Control (#8879) or Power Functions IR Remote Control (#8885) are required for use and are not included with the IR Receiver Sensor.
