GP2Y1010AU0F – Optical dust sensor

Description

The Sharp GP2Y1010AU0F is an optical air quality sensor designed to detect dust particles. An infrared emitting diode and a phototransistor are arranged diagonally to detect the light reflected by dust in the air. It is particularly effective at detecting very fine particles, such as cigarette smoke, and is commonly used in air purification systems. The sensor output is an analog voltage proportional to the measured dust density, with a typical sensitivity of 0.5 V/(0.1 mg/m3). The sensor has a very low current consumption (max 20 mA, 11 mA typical) and can be powered with up to 7 Vdc. Dimensions (mm): 46 x 30 x 17.6.
