Description

  • The Sharp Infrared Sensor Module GP2Y0A02YK0F is a device used for measuring distance and proximity detection. It is composed of a PSD (position sensitive detector), IRED (infrared emitting diode), and signal processing circuit. These components work together to accurately measure distances in a range of 20 to 150 cm.
  • The sensor utilizes a triangulation method to calculate distance, which is not easily influenced by the reflectivity of objects, environmental temperature, or operating duration. It outputs a voltage signal that corresponds to the detected distance, which can be easily read by a microcontroller or other electronics.
  • This device is commonly used in robotics and automation applications, where accurate distance measurement is required. It can also be used as a proximity sensor for detecting objects within a certain range.
  • The sensor comes with cables for easy integration into electronic projects. It is a reliable and cost-effective solution for distance and proximity sensing needs.
