SHARP GP2Y0A21YK0F Distance Measuring Sensor

SHARP GP2Y0A21YK0F is a distance measuring sensor unit, composed of an integrated combination of PSD (position sensitive detector) , IRED (infrared emitting diode) and signal processing circuit. The variety of the reflectivity of the object, the environmental temperature and the operating duration are not influenced easily to the distance detection because of adopting the triangulation method. This device outputs the voltage corresponding to the detection distance. So this sensor can also be used as a proximity sensor. Features Distance measuring range : 10 to 80 cm Analog output type Package size : 29.5×13×13.5 mm Consumption current : Typ. 30 mA Supply voltage : 4.5 to 5.5 V Applications Touch-less switch(Sanitary equipment, Control of illumination, etc. ) Robot cleaner Sensor for energy saving(ATM, Copier, Vending machine) Amusement equipment(Robot, Arcade game machine) Block Diagram Outline Dimensions Note 1. The dimensions marked * are described the dimensions of lens center position. Note 2. Unspecified tolerances shall be ± 0.3 mm. Note 3. The dimensions in parenthesis are shown for reference.
