Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F Analog Distance Sensor (10-80cm)

Specifications: The Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F is an analog distance sensor capable of accurately measuring distances from 10cm to 80cm. It uses infrared light to determine the distance to objects based on their reflective properties.

Power: Operates on a voltage supply typically ranging from 4.5V to 5.5V DC, with a current consumption of around 30mA.

Input and Output: Provides an analog output voltage that varies with the distance of the detected object. Closer objects result in higher output voltages, while farther objects produce lower voltages.

Physical Characteristics: Compact and lightweight, the GP2Y0A21YK0F sensor is housed in a durable plastic package suitable for integration into various electronic devices. It features mounting holes for easy installation and alignment.

Additional Features: Includes built-in ambient light rejection to minimize interference from external light sources, ensuring reliable distance measurements in different lighting conditions. Offers stable performance and high accuracy, making it ideal for applications such as robotics, proximity sensing, and object detection in automation systems.

This sensor is widely used in Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects, as well as industrial automation and consumer electronics where precise distance measurement is critical for operation.
