Using IR triangulation, it provides reliable distance measurements independent of the target object's colour or reflectivity.\n\nThe sensor connects via a 3-pin JST PH connector and operates from a 4.5–5.5 V supply, making it compatible with most microcontroller platforms including Arduino and Raspberry Pi (with an ADC).\n\nKey Features\n\n\nIR Triangulation – Measures distance using infrared light, not affected by target colour\n\nAnalogue Voltage Output – 1.9 V typical differential across the detection range\n\n10–80 cm Range – Reliable detection of objects within this window\n\nFast Update Rate – 38 ± 10 ms measurement period\n\nCompact & Lightweight – Only 3.5 g\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nOperating Voltage: 4.5–5.5 V\n\nCurrent Consumption: 30 mA average\n\nDetection Range: 10–80 cm\n\nOutput: Analogue voltage\n\nUpdate Period: 38 ± 10 ms\n\nConnector: 3-pin JST PH\n\nDimensions: 44.5 × 18.9 × 13.5 mm\n\nWeight: 3.5 g\n\nCompliance: RoHS (lead-free)\n\n\n\nTip: Place a 10 µF (or larger) bypass capacitor across the power and ground pins close to the sensor, as it draws current in short bursts.\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nObstacle avoidance on mobile robots\nProximity and motion detection\nObject distance measurement\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F analogue distance sensor with JST PH cable\n","vendor":"Pololu","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":13440,"title":"Default Title","sku":"PL-136","price":19.75,"compare_at_price":23.38,"on_sale":true,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":4,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
