GP2Y0A02YK0F, Distance Measuring Sensor, Measuring Distance: 20 to 150 cm

The Sharp GP2Y0A02YK0F is an economical and efficient infrared distance sensor with a detection range of 20 cm to 150 cm, ideal for projects that require accurate distance measurements. This sensor provides an analog voltage output that varies inversely with the distance to an object, which can be read by a microcontroller’s analog-to-digital converter. The sensor is popular for its reliability and straightforward integration with microcontrollers, offering better performance than other IR options while being more affordable than sonar alternatives.

Key Features:

• Detection range of 20 cm to 150 cm, suitable for medium-distance measurements
• Analog voltage output simplifies integration with microcontrollers
• Compact and lightweight design with JST PH 3-pin connector for easy setup
• Ideal for robotics, automation, and proximity sensing applications
• Output Voltage Differential (Distance Range): 2.05 V (typical)
• Update Period: 38 plus/minus 10 ms
• Recommended Stabilization: Place a 10 micro farad capacitor across power and ground
