Sharp GP2Y0A02YK0F Sensor

Analog Infra-Red Ranging Sensor

The GP2Y0A02YK0F is a well-proven, robust sensor that uses angle-
of-reflection to measure distances. It’s not fooled by bright light or 
different coloured targets!

Simple to use (analog 0 to 2.5V output)
Small (4.5 x 2.2 x 1.9 cm)
Connects directly to any microcontroller with A/D
20 cm to 150 cm (8 to 79") range
