GP2Y0A21YK0F Sharp IR Analog Distance/Proximity Sensor 10-80cm with Cable for Arduino Raspberry Pi

Description

Description:

The Sharp GP2Y0A21 IR Infrared Distance Sensor is an analogue proximity sensor with a range of 10-80cm. The GP2Y0A21 is a distance-measuring sensor unit composed of a position-sensitive detector (PSD), an infrared emitting diode (IRED), and a signal processing circuit. This device outputs the voltage corresponding to the detection distance. So this sensor can also be used as a proximity sensor. It provides accurate distance measurement (up to 80cm).

Factors such as the reflectivity of the object, the environmental temperature, and the operating duration are not affected easily by distance detection because the sensor triangulates the emitted signal. This sensor package makes it easy to connect to your microcontroller board or single-board computer! The 3 pins correspond to power (VCC, GND), and an analogue voltage signal proportional to the distance to an object (if present).

Specifications:

• Operating Voltage: 4.5~5.5V DC
• Average Current Consumption: 30mA
• Distance Measuring Range: 10~80cm (4~32in)
• Output Type: Analogue Voltage
• Update Period: 38±10ms

Features:

• Accurately measure the distance to an object indoors or outdoors. Range: 10~80cm
• Simply supply power and connect the analogue output to your Arduino, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, etc
• Operating voltage of 4.5~5V DC
• Easy to use out of the box by connecting the included 3-pin JST cable
• It has three pins for connecting to your project: power, ground and analogue voltage output.
