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.

Description

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.

Key Features

  • Sharp Microelectronics original optical PM2.5 and smoke detection sensor.
  • High sensitivity to fine particulate matter (≥0.8 μm).
  • Low-power design with a maximum current draw of 20 mA.
  • Compact and thin package for space-constrained designs.
  • RoHS compliant and lead-free construction for environmental safety.
  • Analog voltage output simplifies data acquisition with microcontrollers.
  • Stable baseline output (~0.9V) in clean air conditions.

Applications

  • Air purifier and air conditioner particulate filter monitoring and control.
  • Indoor air quality (IAQ) monitors and environmental sensing stations.
  • Smoke detection and early fire alarm system prototyping.
  • Dust collection and vacuum robot sensor integration.
  • HVAC system air intake quality assessment and maintenance alerts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the GP2Y1010AU0F sensor?

The sensor requires a 5V DC power supply, with a tolerance of ±2V (3V to 7V). However, for rated sensitivity and output accuracy, operation at 5V is recommended. The analog output signal is referenced to this supply voltage.

How do I interface this sensor with an Arduino or other microcontroller?

Connect the sensor's VCC and GND to 5V and ground on your microcontroller. The analog output (Vo) pin connects directly to an analog input (ADC) pin. The included 150Ω resistor and 220μF capacitor must be connected between the LED driver pin (LED-GND) and ground as per the datasheet to generate the required LED pulse.

Can this sensor distinguish between different types of particles?

Yes, the GP2Y1010AU0F can help differentiate Particle types, such as smoke versus house dust, by analyzing the pulse pattern and response characteristics of its analog output voltage. Smoke particles typically produce a different output waveform compared to larger dust particles.

What is the minimum Particle size it can detect?

The sensor has a minimum detectable Particle size of 0.8 micrometers (μm). This makes it sensitive to fine particulate matter classified as PM2.5, as well as larger particles like pollen and common household dust.
