## Description

This 12-inch (30-cm) cable has 26 AWG wires and a 3-pin female JST PH-style connector that works with Sharp analog distance sensors that have mating PH connectors, such as the 4-30 cm [GP2Y0A41](https://core-electronics.com.au/sharp-gp2y0a41sk0f-analog-distance-sensor-4-30cm.html), the 10-80 cm [GP2Y0A21](https://core-electronics.com.au/sharp-gp2y0a21yk0f-analog-distance-sensor-10-80cm.html), and the 20-150 cm [GP2Y0A02](https://core-electronics.com.au/sharp-gp2y0a02yk0f-analog-distance-sensor-20-150cm.html).

**Note:** This cable is **not** compatible with the [2-15 cm Sharp GP2Y0A51](https://core-electronics.com.au/sharp-gp2y0a51sk0f-analog-distance-sensor-2-15cm.html), which has a JST ZH connector. For a cable that works with that sensor, consider the [3-Pin Female JST ZH-Style Cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/3-pin-female-jst-zh-style-cable-30cm-for-sharp-gp2y0a51-distance-sensors.html).

The other ends of the wires are unterminated; they can be cut to length to match your application. The wire color scheme matches the Sharp distance sensor pinout: red for power, black for ground, and white for signal. The connector pins have a 2 mm pitch.
