TOF050C 400C Laser Ranging Sensor Module - VL6180 ToF, I2C Output
The TOF050C 400C Laser Ranging Sensor Module integrates the VL6180 time-of-flight (ToF) sensor, providing accurate distance measurements up to 50cm via I2C communication. Operating from 3V to 5V DC, this compact module is designed for seamless integration with microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 for robotics, drones, and automation applications.
Features
- VL6180-based ToF sensor with 850nm infrared laser for precise distance measurement.
- Measures distances from 2cm (blind zone) up to 50cm with a 25° field of view.
- Standard I2C digital interface for easy connection to Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other MCUs.
- Wide operating voltage range of 3V to 5V DC with low current consumption (≤40mA).
- Robust operating temperature range from -20°C to 70°C for reliable performance in varied environments.

The TOF050C module utilizes the STMicroelectronics VL6180X sensor, which employs direct time-of-flight measurement using a pulsed 850nm infrared VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) and a SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) receiver. This principle allows for accurate, ambient-light independent distance calculation, making it superior to simple infrared reflection methods.
The sensor’s integrated signal processing provides stable digital output over the I2C bus, simplifying system integration. Its compact form factor (12mm x 8mm) and wide temperature tolerance make it suitable for embedded applications where space and environmental resilience are critical, from consumer robotics to industrial proximity sensing.
