Sharp Microelectronics GP2Y0A41SK0F 4–30 cm IR Distance Sensor with Cable
The Sharp Microelectronics GP2Y0A41SK0F is an analog-output infrared distance measuring sensor with a 4–30 cm range, ideal for robotics, object detection, and Arduino/Raspberry Pi projects. It operates on a 5V DC supply and provides a stable analog voltage output proportional to distance.
Features
- Infrared triangulation sensing for 4 cm to 30 cm range.
- Analog voltage output (typically 0.4V to 2.3V) for direct ADC interfacing.
- Compact 44 x 18.5 mm module with integrated 150 mm cable and connector.
- Low sensitivity to target reflectivity and ambient temperature variations.
- Designed for 5V DC operation with recommended 10 µF power supply decoupling.

The Sharp Microelectronics GP2Y0A41SK0F utilizes a precision infrared emitter and a position-sensitive detector (PSD) to implement triangulation-based distance measurement. This method provides consistent readings that are less affected by the target object’s surface color or ambient temperature changes compared to simple intensity-based IR sensors.
The module outputs an analog voltage that decreases as distance increases, allowing for direct connection to microcontroller analog-to-digital converter (ADC) pins on platforms like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi. Its compact form factor and integrated cable make it suitable for integration into space-constrained applications such as robotic obstacle avoidance, liquid level sensing, and automated guided vehicles.
