Sharp Reflective Optical Sensor Photointerrupter Output Surface Mount 3-Pin GP2A210LCSJF

Sharp GP2A210LCSJF Reflective Optical Sensor is a surface mount photointerrupter device designed for precise non-contact sensing applications. This sensor incorporates an emitter and detector arranged to face the same direction in a molded housing that enables effective light modulation to reduce the effects of ambient light interference. It is engineered to provide reliable performance within a peak sensing distance range between 15 mm and 70 mm, making it suitable for industrial automation, instrumentation, and electronic component integration.

The sensor delivers an analogue output signal via photointerrupter technology, allowing for precise positional detection of reflective surfaces. The device responds rapidly, with a typical rise time of 1 millisecond and a fall time as fast as 1 microsecond, enabling high-speed sensing applications. It is supplied in a compact plastic bag packaging and has a 3-pin surface mount configuration for easy installation.

With dimensions measuring 39.8 mm in length, 9 mm in width, and 8.65 mm in height, the GP2A210LCSJF provides a compact footprint suitable for dense electronic assemblies. It operates reliably over a temperature range from -10°C to 70°C and complies with RoHS environmental standards.

Additional design features include extra screw fixing holes and a position pin that prevent misalignment during installation, enhancing its mechanical stability and accuracy. The family of sensors to which this model belongs uses light modulation technology to minimize disturbance from external environmental lighting, ensuring consistent sensing outcomes.

This device is optimized for industrial automation, laboratory instrumentation, electronic manufacturing, and other commercial applications requiring robust, long-range reflective optical sensing. The GP2A210LCSJF model is a part of Sharp’s GP2A200LCS0F sensor series known for their surface reflective photointerrupter output configuration.
