Sharp Air Detection Sensor Dust Sensor GP2Y1010AU0F

Description:

The Sharp GP2Y1010AU0F is an optical dust sensor designed to detect the presence of airborne particles, particularly fine dust and smoke. It operates on the principle of infrared light scattering. An infrared LED emits light, and when dust particles pass through the sensing area, they scatter the light. A phototransistor then detects the scattered light, providing an analog output signal proportional to the concentration of dust particles.   

Key Features:

• High Sensitivity: Detects even small amounts of dust and smoke.   
• Compact Size: Suitable for space-constrained applications.
• Low Power Consumption: Minimizes energy usage.   
• Analog Output: Provides a continuous signal for easy data acquisition and processing.   
• Simple to Use: Requires minimal external components for operation.

Specifications:

• Supply Voltage: 4.5V to 5.5V   
• Operating Current: 20mA (maximum)   
• Output Signal: Analog voltage   
• Sensitivity: 0.5V/(100μg/m³)   
• Measurement Range: 0-500μg/m³
• Operating Temperature: -10°C to 65°C   
• Dimensions: 46 x 30 x 17.6mm

DATA SHEET AND USECASE
