Description

The Sharp Microelectronics GP2Y0A02YK0F utilizes an infrared LED paired with a position-sensitive detector (PSD) to determine distance via triangulation. The sensor outputs an analog voltage inversely proportional to the distance of a detected object, providing a continuous measurement signal suitable for real-time control systems.

Designed for reliable performance in indoor environments, this sensor offers a cost-effective alternative to ultrasonic modules, with immunity to acoustic noise. Its consistent output characteristics and robust construction make it a staple for robotics navigation, object avoidance, and basic level sensing applications.

Key Features

  • Infrared (IR) triangulation-based distance measurement.
  • Analog voltage output proportional to inverse distance.
  • Standard 5V DC operation compatible with most development boards.
  • Compact form factor (58mm x 17.5mm) for easy integration.
  • Includes a pre-wired JST connector for immediate use.
  • Provides a reliable, non-contact sensing solution.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for educational and prototyping use.

Applications

  • Mobile robot obstacle avoidance and navigation.
  • Object presence detection and counting on conveyor lines.
  • Proximity sensing for interactive displays and kiosks.
  • Basic level or fill detection in non-critical containers.
  • Educational projects demonstrating analog sensor interfacing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the GP2Y0A02YK0F sensor?

The sensor operates from 4.5V to 5.5V DC. A stable 5V supply is recommended for optimal performance and to ensure the analog output voltage scale is accurate as per the datasheet.

How do I interface this sensor with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi?

Connect the sensor's VCC and GND to your board's 5V and GND pins. The analog output pin (Vo) connects to an analog input pin (e.g., A0 on Arduino). The Raspberry Pi requires an external ADC as it lacks native analog inputs.

What is the actual measuring range of this sensor? The title says 20-150cm but other text mentions 100-550cm.

The Sharp Microelectronics GP2Y0A02YK0F model is specified for a 20 cm to 150 cm range. The 100-550cm range refers to a different model in the same product family (e.g., GP2Y0A710K0F). Always refer to the specific model number for accurate specifications.

Does the output voltage increase or decrease with distance?

The analog output voltage decreases as the distance to the object increases. The relationship is non-linear (inversely proportional), so calibration or lookup tables are often used to convert the voltage reading to a distance value.

What kind of connector does the sensor have?

The sensor comes with a pre-attached JST connector. The included cable has bare wire ends on the other side for easy connection to a breadboard, screw terminal, or microcontroller pins.
