40KHZ ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCERS

Manufactured by Murata as their part numbers MA40S3R (receiver) and MA40S3S (transmitter) these are miniature optimised 40Khz piezo electronic transducers.

Very sensitive and with a useful range of upto 4m, these devices are commonly used in remote control devices (car / burglar alarms, robotics etc etc ) object detection and distance measurement.

These are supplied as a pair, the receiver is marked with an 'R' on the underside and the transmitter is marked with an 'S'.

 Technical details we know are:

 Sensitivity: -62dB
Sound Pressure: 120dB
Directivity: 80 degrees
Capacitance: 2500pF
Max input voltage: (square wave p-p) 20V continuous, 40Khz
Usable detectable range: 0.2m - 4.0m.

This is the type used in many cars we understand

Miniature plastic cased construction with 10mm connection pins extending from rear, diameter is 9.9mm and the height is 7.1mm.
