Ultrasonic Sensor Disks
Tech Notes
Products & Technologies
TDK Corporation presents the ultrasonic sensor module USSM1.0 PLUS-FS, in which the sensor element is mechanically decoupled from the housing. This makes the IP65/67 protected sensor with the order number B59110W2111W032 immune to external mechanical vibrations that can falsify the measurement result. The module, which is supplied with a nominal voltage of 12 V, can be mounted in a front chassis via a M19 thread with a locking nut or via snap hooks.
TDK Corporation presents a new series of ceramic-based EPCOS ultrasonic sensor disks, comprising two standard types. The B59050Z0206A030 sensor disk has a diameter of 5.0 mm and thickness of 1.02 mm.
The evolution of sensing technology and communication network contribute to the realization of an Autonomous driving society and its growth. Ultrasonic parking assistant is a key sensor for automated driving and parking functions. Ultrasonic parking sensors were in use in Europe long before debate on automated driving became active. TDK has for many years supplied Piezo Disks and ultrasonic driver transformers for use with ultrasonic parking sensors. TDK also developed a multilayer ceramic chip capacitor that exhibits attenuating capacitance (ZL characteristics) under high-temperature environments that is suitable for resonant circuits with Piezo Disk. This article presents Piezo Disk, ultrasonic driver transformers, and MLCC with ZL characteristics.

TDK Product Features
Ultrasonic sensors disks are ceramic disks, which are using the piezoelectric effect to emit and to detect inaudible sound waves.
This property can be used in gases and in liquids for several applications like obstacle detection, distance measuring, flow metering and level sensing.
The portfolio covers ultrasonic sensor disks with radial and thickness oscillation mode as well as with the option of wrap around metallization.
