GP2Y1010AU0F Compact Optical Air Quality Dust Sensor

Description of GP2Y1010AU0F Dust Sensor

GP2Y1010AU0F dust sensor uses an optical sensing method and has a diagonally arranged infrared emitting diode (IRED) and phototransistor. It detects the reflected light of dust in air.

The GP2Y1010AU0F sensor is especially effective in detecting very fine particles like cigarette smoke, and is commonly used in air purifier systems.

The output of the sensor is an analog voltage proportional to the measured dust density, with a sensitivity of 0.5V/0.1mg/m³.

Features:

• Accurate dust detection: The GP2Y1010AU0F is a precise optical air quality sensor capable of detecting dust particles with a minimum size of 0.5 µm. This ensures that even the smallest dust particles do not go unnoticed.
• Wide range of dust density : This sensor can measure dust densities up to 580 µg/m³, which is ideal for monitoring air quality in various environments and applications.
• Versatile applications: This module is versatile and suitable for various applications, from automation, home automation and robotics to environmental and industrial monitoring.
