The Waterproof Ultrasonic Sensor offers reliable distance measurement and object detection with the added benefit of being waterproof. Designed for harsh environments, it functions effectively even in wet or outdoor conditions, making it ideal for applications in robotics, marine, and outdoor automation where durability and accurate sensing are crucial.
WATERPROOF ULTRASONIC SENSOR
A waterproof ultrasonic sensor is designed to measure distances or detect objects in environments where it might be exposed to moisture, rain, or even full submersion in water. These sensors are commonly used for outdoor, industrial, or underwater applications where a standard ultrasonic sensor might fail due to water ingress.
Specifications:
Detection range: 20-450 cm
Voltage: 3.0-5.5V
Current: <8mA
Resolution: 1mm
Accuracy: ± 10mm
Sensor angle: <75°
Dimensions: 42mm x 29mm x 12mm
Cable length: ~250 cm
Similar to non-waterproof ultrasonic sensors, a waterproof ultrasonic sensor operates by emitting sound waves at a frequency above the range of human hearing (typically 40 kHz or higher). These sound waves travel through the air (or water) and reflect off objects back to the sensor, which calculates the distance based on the time taken for the echo to return.
