Sharp Microelectronics GP2Y0A41SK0F Analog Output Distance Measurement Sensor
The Sharp Microelectronics GP2Y0A41SK0F is an analog output infrared distance measurement sensor compatible with 5V microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. It provides a continuous analog voltage signal proportional to distance for precise non-contact ranging from 4 cm to 30 cm.
Features
- Analog output voltage directly proportional to measured distance (4-30 cm).
- Optimized for 5V operation (4.5V to 5.5V supply range).
- Compact, integrated PSD (Position Sensitive Detector) and IR LED design.
- RoHS compliant construction for environmental safety.
- Low power consumption suitable for battery-powered applications.

The Sharp Microelectronics GP2Y0A41SK0F utilizes an infrared triangulation principle, where a modulated IR beam is reflected from a target and focused onto a one-dimensional Position Sensitive Detector (PSD). The position of the reflected spot on the PSD changes with distance, generating a corresponding analog output voltage. This method provides reliable, non-contact distance sensing independent of target color and surface texture within its specified range.
Designed for straightforward integration, the sensor outputs a continuous analog signal that can be read directly by any microcontroller’s ADC pin. Its compact, all-in-one package houses the IR emitter, PSD, and signal conditioning circuitry, requiring only power and ground connections for operation. The sensor is engineered for stable performance in ambient light conditions typical of indoor robotics and automation environments.
