GP2Y0A51SK0F GP2Y0A51SK0F Distance Measuring Sensor Unit M easuring distance : 2 to 15 cm Analog output type Description Agency approvals/Compliance GP2Y0A51SK0F is a distance measuring sensor unit, 1. Compliant with RoHS directive (2002/95/EC) composed of an integrated combination of PSD (position sensitive detector) , IR-LED (infrared emitting diode) and signal processing circuit. The variety of the reflectivity of the object, the environmental temperature and the operating duration Applications are not influenced easily to the distance detection because of adopting the triangulation method. 1. Cleaning robot This device outputs the voltage corresponding to the 2. Personal robot detection distance. So this sensor can also be used as a 3. Sanitary proximity sensor. Features 1. Distance measuring sensor is united with PSD, infrared LED and signal processing circuit 2. Short measuring cycle (16.5ms) 3. Distance measuring range : 2 to 15 cm 4. Compact size (27.0 × 10.8 × 12.0mm) 5. Analog output type Sheet No.: OP13007EN 1

Materials for ODS : CFC , Halon, Carbon tetrachloride 1.1.1-Trichloroethane (Methyl chloroform) S Product mass : Approx. 2.7g (TYP) This product does not contain the chemical materials regulated by RoHS directive. (Except for the NOT regulated by RoHS directive.) Specified brominated flame retardants Specified brominated flame retardants (PBB and PBDE) are not used in this device at all. Compliance with each regulation 1) The RoHS directive(2002/95/EC) This product complies with the RoHS directive(2002/95/EC) . Object substances: mercury, lead (except for lead in high melting temperature type solders*1 and glass of electronic components), cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) *1 i.e. tin-lead solder alloys containing more than 85% lead 2) Content of six substances specified in Management Methods for Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products Regulation (Chinese : ). Toxic and hazardous substances Hexavalent Polybrominated Polybrominated Category Lead Mercury Cadmium chromium biphenyls diphenyl ethers (Pb) (Hg) (Cd) (Cr6+) (PBB) (PBDE) Distance Measuring Sensor : indicates that the content of the toxic and hazardous substance in all the homogeneous materials of the part is below the concentration limit requirement as described in SJ/T 11363-2006 standard . : indicates that the content of the toxic and hazardous substance in at least one homogeneous material of the part exceeds the concentration limit requirement as described in SJ/T 11363-2006 standard. Lead in high melting temperature type solders (i.e. tin-lead solder alloys containing more than 85% lead) and glass of electronic components ve table) are exempt from the RoHS directive (2002/95/EC), because there is no effective way to eliminate or substitute them by present scientific technology.

GP2Y0A51SK0F Notes [Advice for the optics] Lens of this device shall be kept cleanly. There are cases that dust, water or oil and so on deteriorate the characteristics of this device. Please consider in actual application. In case that protection is set in front of the emitter and detector portion, the protection cover which has the most efficient transmittance at the emitting wavelength range of LED for this product ( =870nm±70nm), shall be recommended to use. The face and back of protection cover should be mirror polishing. Also, as there are cases that the characteristics may not be satisfied with according to the distance between the protection cover and this product or the thickness of the protection cover, please use this product after confirming the operation sufficiently in actual application. [Advice for the characteristics] In case that there is an object near to light exits of the sensor between the sensor and the detected object, please use this device after confirming sufficiently what the characteristics of this sensor do not change by the object. When the detector surface receive direct light from the sun, tungsten lamp and so on, there are cases that it can not measure the distance exactly. Please consider the design that the detector does not receive direct light from such light source. Distance between sensor and mirror reflector can not measure exactly. In case that reflective object has boundary line clearly, there is cases that distance can not measure exactly. At that time, if direction of boundary line and the line between emitter center and detector center parallels, it is possible to decrease deviation of measuring distance. (Incorrect) (Correct) In order to decrease measuring error by moving direction of object, we recommend to mount the sensor like below drawing. (Incorrect) (Correct) (Moving direction) (Moving direction) In order to stabilize power supply line, we recommend to connect a by-pass capacitor of 10 F or more between Vcc and GND near this product. [Notes on handling] Washing may deteriorate the characteristics of optical system and so on. Please confirm resistance to chemicals under the actual usage since this product has not been designed against for washing. There are some possibilities that the sensor inside the case package with lens may be exposed to the excessive mechanical force. Please be careful not to cause any excessive pressure on the case package with lens and also on the Sheet No.: OP13007EN 6
