KY-018 - Light sensor .step model

Summary

This is a 3D STEP model of the KY-18 sensor module, created for use in CAD assemblies, electronics mockups, product visualization, enclosure design, and robotics projects.

The model represents the physical KY-18 module with its PCB, mounting holes, pin header, sensor element, and main visible geometry. It is useful when you need to plan the placement of the sensor inside a device, design a case around it, or check clearances before manufacturing.

Description

This KY-18 STEP model is intended as a practical CAD reference for makers, engineers, and electronics hobbyists. It can be imported into most CAD software and used directly in mechanical assemblies.

The model is especially useful for:

Designing custom enclosures

Planning sensor placement

Checking mounting hole positions

Creating product renders

Building robotics and embedded device assemblies

Preparing documentation or assembly instructions

The model is not intended to be a functional PCB design or electrical schematic. It is a mechanical reference model for integration and visualization.

Features

STEP format for easy CAD import

Based on the real KY-18 sensor module

Includes PCB shape and mounting holes

Includes 3-pin header geometry

Includes sensor element and metal leads

Suitable for enclosure and assembly design

Useful for robotics, Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and DIY electronics projects

Notes

Please check the dimensions against your own KY-18 module before final manufacturing, as small variations may exist between different suppliers and board revisions.

Suggested Use

Import the STEP file into your CAD project and place it inside your device assembly to check fit, mounting position, and available clearance.
