Sharp Microelectronics GP2Y1010AU0F PM2.5 Dust & Smoke Particle Sensor Module
The Sharp Microelectronics GP2Y1010AU0F is a compact optical dust sensor module designed for detecting airborne particulate matter (PM2.5) and smoke. It operates on a 5V DC supply and provides an analog voltage output proportional to dust concentration, making it compatible with microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 for air quality monitoring projects.
Features
- Infrared optical sensing principle for detecting fine particles like PM2.5 and cigarette smoke.
- Analog voltage output with sensitivity of 0.5V per 0.1 mg/m³ for direct ADC interfacing.
- Low operating current (max 20mA) suitable for portable and battery-powered applications.
- Compact form factor (46 x 34 x 18 mm) for easy integration into equipment.
- Capable of distinguishing smoke from household dust via output pulse pattern analysis.

The GP2Y1010AU0F sensor employs a diagonally arranged infrared LED (IRED) and phototransistor to detect light scattered by airborne particles. This optical method provides a reliable analog voltage signal that correlates with particulate concentration, specifically targeting fine particles detrimental to air quality. The module’s internal signal conditioning simplifies integration, requiring only external passive components for optimal operation.
Designed for stable performance in consumer and light industrial environments, the sensor operates within a -10°C to 60°C temperature range. Its output characteristics allow for differentiation between various Particle types, such as smoke versus general dust, based on the temporal pattern of the output signal, enabling more sophisticated air quality assessments beyond simple concentration measurement.
