GP2Y1010AU0F Optical Dust Sensor

Infrared Optical Sensing: Uses an infrared emitting diode (IRED) paired with a phototransistor to detect light scattered by airborne dust particles.

Effective Cigarette Smoke & House Dust Detection: Optimized to detect fine particles like cigarette smoke and household dust for reliable indoor air monitoring.

Analog Pulse Output: Delivers an analog voltage pulse output proportional to dust concentration for straightforward ADC sampling on microcontrollers.

Low Power Consumption: Operates on low current draw (20 mA max, 11 mA typical), making it suitable for continuous air monitoring systems.

Compact Breakout Form Factor: Features an integrated optical sensing chamber with a 6-pin interface cable for easy mounting inside air purifiers and sensors.

Housing Material: Lightweight plastic sensing body with metal internal shielding frame and 6-pin connection harness.

Technical Specifications:

Sensor Model: Sharp GP2Y1010AU0F.

Operating Supply Voltage: 4.5V – 5.5V DC (5.0V typical).
