# SparkFun Qwiic VL53L1X distance sensor (SEN-14722): 1 in board, holes and sensor window

> What are the SparkFun Qwiic VL53L1X (SEN-14722) board dimensions and mounting-hole positions?

- Category: Electronic components › Modules, sensors & displays
- Kind: Modern device
- Basis: SparkFun Eagle board file 'Qwiic Distance Sensor - VL53L1X.brd' (Qwiic_Distance_VL53L1X repository), the JST SH datasheet and the ST VL53L1X package size.

## Overall (mm)

| length | width | height |
|---|---|---|
| 25.4 | 25.4 | 4.55 |

**Exact dimensions.** Every file is drawn at true size with no tolerance added. The holes and pins that meet another part are listed below under Mating features, with the fit each joint needs; open those by your process's clearance before making the part.

## Notes

- Datum: board centre, board bottom at 0, components on top. PCB 25.40 × 25.40 (1.0 × 1.0 in), square corners, 1.6 thick (standard; not stated in the board file).
- Two Ø3.30 holes for M3 or #4-40 at (±10.16, +10.16): 20.32 apart along the +y edge, 2.54 in from the edges.
- Two Qwiic (JST SH 4-pin side-entry) connectors 4.25 × 6.00 × 2.95 centred at x ±10.10, openings facing the ±x edges.
- VL53L1X package 4.90 × 2.50 × 1.56 at the board centre; its top carries the emitter and receiver windows, so keep the space above it clear or behind a cover window.
- Not modelled: the 0.1 in breakout pad row along the −y edge (unpopulated). Other SparkFun ToF boards (VL53L4CD, VL53L5CX, Qwiic Mini) have different outlines.
- Dimensions are exact nominal (true size), no tolerance added.

## Mating features (exact size; open press / slide / run / socket by your process clearance, leave designed and clamp as drawn)

|---|---|---|---|---|
| mounting holes | 2 × Ø3.30, 20.32 apart | M3 or #4-40 screws and standoffs | designed | all |
| sensor window | 4.90 × 2.50 at the board centre | opening or cover window in the enclosure | designed | all |
| Qwiic connectors | JST SH 4-pin, 1.0 pitch | Qwiic / STEMMA QT cables | socket | all |

## Sizes

| feature | x (mm) | y (mm) | size (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| hole 1 | −10.16 | +10.16 | Ø3.30 |
| hole 2 | +10.16 | +10.16 | Ø3.30 |
| VL53L1X sensor | 0 | 0 | 4.90 × 2.50 × 1.56 |
