Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating principle of the GP2A200LCS0F photointerrupter?

The GP2A200LCS0F is a reflective-type sensor where an integrated infrared LED emitter and a phototransistor detector face the same direction. It detects objects by measuring the amount of infrared light reflected back. The OPIC (Optical IC) output modulates the emitted light to provide high immunity against ambient light interference.

What is the detection range and how does it vary with material?

The detection range is material-dependent. For optimal reflectivity (white paper), the sensing distance is 2 mm to 22 mm. For low-reflectivity surfaces (black paper), the effective range is reduced to 5 mm to 15 mm. The sensor requires an object to be outside the 'undetecting distance' (greater than 90 mm for white paper) to reliably register an absence.

How should I mount and wire the GP2A200LCS0F module?

The module includes a positioning pin and two screw fixing holes (M2 size) for secure, misalignment-free mounting. Electrical connection is made via the integrated 3-pin connector (Tyco/AMP 292133-3). The standard pinout is VCC (supply voltage), GND, and the OPIC output signal, which should be connected to a microcontroller or logic input.

What are the key electrical and environmental specifications?

The sensor operates from a typical supply voltage as specified in the Sharp Microelectronics datasheet (commonly 5V). It is designed for continuous operation within an ambient temperature range of -20°C to 70°C and can be stored in temperatures from -20°C to 80°C. Always consult the official datasheet for absolute maximum ratings and detailed electrical characteristics.
