Üoverview
The connection to most microcontrollers is simple: The single analog output can be connected to an analog-to-digital converter for 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 right image shows a shorter Sharp analog distance sensor with one of these cables. These cables have 3-pin JST connectors at one end and are available with pre-crimped pins, pre-crimped female pins and unwired wires at the other end. It is also possible to connect three wires to the sensor where the pins are mounted (see picture below right). Viewed from the Rück side, the three connections from left to right are the power supply, ground and output signal.
Feature summary
- Operating voltage: 4.5 V to 5.5 V
- Average current consumption: 33 mA (Note: This sensor draws current in large, short pulses, and the manufacturer recommends placing a capacitor with 10 µF or more across the power supply and ground near the sensor to stabilize the power supply line).
