Carrier for Sharp Sensors

£1.93 £1.61

This tiny carrier board makes it easy to integrate the Sharp GP2Y0D810Z0F and GP2Y0D805Z0F digital distance sensors into your project by providing all of the required external components, an LED for feedback about the output state, and 0.1"-pitch, three-pin interface to the sensor.

Details

The GP2Y0D810Z0F and the shorter-range GP2Y0D805Z0F are Sharp’s smallest and fastest distance sensors. With a sample rate of almost 400 Hz, a relatively low current draw, and a very small package, these sensors provide an attractive alternative to shorter-range LED-phototransistor reflectance pairs and longer-range but slower (and larger) sensors such as the Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F analog distance sensor.

However, these sensors require external components and have a non-standard 1.5 mm pitch, which can make them difficult to integrate into projects based on a 0.1" pitch. This carrier board includes these components and provides a 0.1"-pitch, three-pin interface: ground, power, and output.

Note: this product requires a Sharp GP2Y0D810Z0F or GP2Y0D805Z0F sensor (sold separately). We also offer a version of this carrier board with the sensor soldered in.
