Looking for Gp2y0a02yk0f Sensor? SHARP Distance Measuring Sensor unit 20 to 150 cm – GP2Y0A02YK0F is available at Zbotic with fast shipping across India.
The Sharp distance sensors are a popular choice for many projects that require accurate distance measurements. This IR sensor is more economical than sonar rangefinders, yet it provides much better performance than other IR alternatives.
Interfacing to most microcontrollers is straightforward: the single analog output can be connected to an analog-to-digital converter for taking distance measurements, or the output can be connected to a comparator for threshold detection. The detection range of this version is approximately 20 cm to 150 cm (8″ to 60″).
The GP2Y0A02 uses a 3-pin JST PH connector that works with our 3-pin JST PH cables for Sharp distance sensors (not included) the top picture on the right shows a shorter-range Sharp analog Distance sensor with one of these cables.
These cables have 3-pin JST connectors on one end and are available with pre-crimped male pins, pre-crimped female pins, and with unterminated wires on the other end.
Features:
- Long-distance type (bigger size).
- Analog output.
- Good Alternative to Sonar Sensors.
- This item comes with a JST connector and wires
Package Includes :
1 x Sharp Distance Measuring Sensor unit 20 to 150 cm.
1 x Connecting Cable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What distance range does this sensor cover?
The GP2Y0A02YK0F reliably measures object distances from 20 cm up to 150 cm (8″ to 60″).
How fast can I sample distance readings?
The sensor updates its analog output every 38 ± 10 ms, allowing about 25 measurements per second.
How do I convert the output voltage to an actual distance?
Read the analog voltage via your microcontroller ADC and apply the sensor’s calibration curve—over its range you’ll see around 2.05 V of output change corresponding to distance variations.
