40KHz Ultrasonic ranging module. Designed for incorporation in equipment, robots etc.
Used to determine the distance to a target. Features high accuracy, non-contact,
stable measurements in a simple 4 connection +5VDC module.
The module "Pings" a target when triggered and outputs a logic pulse proportional to the distance.
Power: 5VDC
Range: ~2cm-~2.5m
Resolution: >0.5cm
L: 1-3/4" W: 7/8" HT: 5/8" WT: .02
