Sharp Microelectronics GP2Y1014AU0F Optical Dust Sensor, PM2.5, Analog Output, 5V, 0-0.5 mg/m³
The Sharp Microelectronics GP2Y1014AU0F is a compact optical dust sensor designed for detecting fine airborne particulates like PM2.5. It provides an analog voltage output proportional to dust concentration, making it compatible with 5V microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 for air quality monitoring applications.
Features
- Optical sensing principle using an infrared LED and phototransistor for reliable Particle detection.
- Analog voltage output proportional to dust concentration (0-0.5 mg/m³).
- Low power consumption with a maximum operating current of 20 mA.
- Compact form factor (46.0 x 30.0 x 17.6 mm) for easy integration into devices.
- Capable of distinguishing between smoke and common house dust based on output signal patterns.

The GP2Y1014AU0F employs an optical scattering method, where an infrared emitting diode (IRED) and a phototransistor are arranged diagonally within its housing. Airborne particles passing through the detection area scatter light from the IRED, which is then measured by the phototransistor. This analog signal correlates directly to the mass concentration of suspended particles, providing a reliable metric for PM2.5 levels.
Engineered for low-power operation and long-term stability, the sensor is suitable for continuous monitoring in consumer and industrial environments. Its design allows for efficient detection with a single light pulse, minimizing power draw while maintaining responsiveness to changes in air quality. The module is RoHS compliant and constructed without hazardous substances, ensuring safety for use in air purifiers, HVAC systems, and portable air quality monitors.
