Dust Sensor Module (GP2Y1010AU0F)

Dust Sensor Module (GP2Y1010AU0F) – Monitor Air Quality with Precision

Track fine dust and particulate matter with a compact, reliable dust sensor module built around the proven GP2Y1010AU0F optical sensor. This module converts light scattering events caused by airborne particles into an analog voltage, giving you clear, real-time insight into PM2.5 levels and larger particulates.

Key Features

• GP2Y1010AU0F optical dust sensor core for accurate PM2.5 detection
• Real-time readings with fast response time for immediate alerts
• Compact form factor for easy mounting in DIY projects and commercial devices
• Standard analog voltage output for direct connection to microcontrollers
• Low power consumption for continuous monitoring
• Affordable and durable – designed to work in homes, workshops, labs and industrial environments

How It Works – Optical Light Scattering

The module uses light scattering to detect particles. A focused light beam passes through incoming air. When dust or smoke particles cross the beam, they scatter light and the sensor converts that scattering into an analog voltage proportional to dust density. This method is sensitive to PM2.5 and larger particulates.

Applications

• Indoor air quality sensor for homes, nurseries and classrooms
• Air particulates sensor for workshops, factories and construction sites
• Smoke detection and early warning systems
• Integration into HVAC and air purification systems
• Environmental monitoring stations and city air quality projects
• DIY dust sensor projects with Arduino, Raspberry Pi and other microcontrollers
