■ Description

GP2Y3A001K0F is a distance measuring sensor unit, composed of an integrated combination of PSD (position sensitive detector) , 5-IREDs (infrared emitting diode) and signal processing circuit.

The variety of the reflectivity of the object, the environmental temperature and the operating duration are not influenced easily to the distance detection because of adopting the triangulation method.

This device uses 5 infrared beams for wide range (field of view) detection. This device outputs the 5 voltages corresponding to the each distance detection.

■ Features

1. Short range type

Measuring distance range : 4 to 30 cm
