Product Description
This small digital distance sensor detects objects between 2 cm and 10 cm (0.8″ and 4″) away. With its quick response time, small size, and low current draw, this sensor is a good choice for non-contact object detection.
There are a few millimeters of hysteresis around the maximum range threshold and no hysteresis at the minimum range threshold. Note that these sensors will only tell you if there is an object within the detection range along their lines of sight; they will not tell you how far away the object is.
With a detection distances up to 150 mm and a typical sampling rate of almost 400 Hz, these sensors provides attractive alternatives to shorter-range LED-phototransistor reflectance pairs and longer-range but slower sensors such as the Sharp GP2Y0A41SK0F analog distance sensor. The output, Vo, is driven low when the sensor detects an object; otherwise, the output is high.
Please note that this sensor requires external components and has a non-standard 1.5 mm pitch, which can make it difficult to integrate into projects based on a 0.1″ pitch.

General specifications
- Maximum range: 10 cm
- Minimum range: 2 cm
- Sampling rate: 390 Hz. Typical; can be as low as 265 Hz.
- Minimum operating voltage: 2.7 V
- Maximum operating voltage: 6.2 V
- Supply current: 5 mA Average; this sensor draws current in large, short bursts, so it might help to place 10 µF capacitor or larger across power and ground close to the sensor in some applications.
- Output type: digital. Low when detecting an object, high otherwise.
