Description

CATEGORY	SPECIFICATIONS
Product Type	Infrared Distance Measuring Sensor
Model	GP2Y0A710K0F
Sensor Type	Sharp IR triangulation distance sensor
Operating Principle	Emits infrared light and measures reflected angle/intensity to calculate distance
Output Type	Analog voltage output
Operating Voltage	Typically 4.5 V – 5.5 V DC
Detection Range	100 cm – 550 cm (1 m – 5.5 m approx.)
Effective Range	100 cm – 500 cm (optimal accuracy zone)
Output Behavior	Voltage varies inversely with distance (closer object = higher/lower voltage depending on curve)
Response Type	Continuous analog signal (no digital switching)
Connector Type	JST connector with wires included
Key Features	Long-range IR sensing, compact module, good alternative to ultrasonic sensors
Measurement Method	Optical triangulation using IR emitter and position-sensitive detector
Noise Characteristics	Can be noisy; recommended filtering capacitor
Recommended Filtering	220 µF capacitor across Vcc and GND for signal stability
Environmental Sensitivity	Affected by surface reflectivity, ambient light, and object color
Physical Characteristics	Larger module size compared to short-range IR sensors
Key Advantage	Stable mid-to-long range detection without sound waves
Limitations	Less accurate on dark/absorptive surfaces and in strong sunlight
Applications	Robotics navigation, obstacle detection, range finding, automation systems, smart vehicles, industrial sensing
