Sharp GP2Y1010AU0F Optical air quality sensor

Product detailed description

Sharp GP2Y1010AU0F is an optical sensor for measuring the density of dust particles in the air. An infrared LED and a phototransistor are located inside the housing, angled to capture light scattered by dust particles passing through the sensor duct. The output is an analogue voltage proportional to the measured dust density with a sensitivity of 0.5 V per 0.1 mg/m³. The sensor is suitable for air quality monitors, air purifiers, or home weather stations using Arduino or ESP32.
