GP2Y1014AU0F – Optical Dust Sensor

GP2Y1014AU0F is an optical dust sensor that means it senses dust by using an optical sensing system such as a light source. It is used to detect dust particles in the air. Additionally, it can be used to measure air quality. Its internal circuitry consists of a simple infrared light emitting diode and a photo transistor. Both these optically operating electronics components are placed in a diagonal position to each other. This dust sensor uses a reflected light of dust in the air to detect dust. Furthermore, it can identify smoke from house dust such as cigarette smoke and produces a series of output voltage pulses according to the dust amount in the air.

GP2Y1014AU0F Pinout

This optical dust sensor comes with six pinouts. The following diagram shows the pinout of GP2Y1014AU0F sensor.

Pin Configuration Details

No. Pin Name Function 1 V-LED Provides Vcc to IR LED through phototransistor. Connect 5V to this pin 2 LED – GND Connect the ground terminal of the power supply to this pin. It is a ground pin of IRED 3 LED This pin is used to toggleIRLED to emit infrared light 4 S-GND Ground pin of GP2Y1014AU0F optical dust sensor 5 VOUT This pin produces analog voltage pulses according to concentration of dust particles in air. 6 VCC Vcc pin powers the optical sensor and operating voltage is between 4.5V to 5V

Note: GP2Y1014AU0F dust concentration measurement sensor consumes only 20mA current during normal operating condition. Hence, we can directly power from the same power source which is used to power microcontrollers. Moreover, we can also directly power it with the 5V onboard signal of Arduino.

GP2Y1014AU0F Features and Specifications

• Low current consumption (20mA maximum) makes it easy to interface with microcontrollers such as Arduino, TM4C123, ESP32, etc. Hence, do not require any external electronics components .
• Can detect both dust particles and smoke presence in the air
• Provides analog voltage output according to the concentration of dust particles in air and Sensitivity is 0.5 V/(100 µg/m3). That means it can detect the minimum detectable dust size is 0.5µm.
• Standard operating voltage range : 4.5V to 5.5V
• Compact design and dimensions: 1.81 x 1.18 x 0.69” (46.0 x 30.0 x 17.6 mm)
• Response time of GP2Y1014AU0F dust sensor is less than one second. In other words, it can sense dust particles in less than one second and provides analog voltage output
