Sharp GP2Y0D815Z0F Digital Distance Sensor 15cm

This small digital distance sensor detects objects between 0.5 cm and 15 cm (0.2″ and 6″) away. With its quick response time, small size, low current draw, and short minimum sensing distance, this sensor is a good choice for non-contact object detection, and its short minimum detection distance lets it see objects very close to the face of the sensor.

Notes:

1: Typical; can be as low as 265 Hz.
2: Average; this sensor draws current in large, short bursts, so it might help to place 10 µF capacitor or larger across power and ground close to the sensor in some applications.
3: Low when detecting an object, high otherwise.
