GP2Y0D810Z0F current output?

Hello,
I have a project using a number of GP2Y0D810Z0F. I would like to power a small relay with the output. The relay I’m looking at requires 88mA @ 4-6VDC. Do you have a spec. on the output of this sensor?

Thanks,
-Bob

Hello.

We don’t have anything beyond what is in the datasheet, which is available under the resources tab on the product page. However, I do not expect it to be able to do what you want. 88 mA might be small for a relay, but that is quite a bit of current from the perspective of a microcontroller I/O line. Have you considered using the sensor output in conjunction with a MOSFET to power the relay?
