Description

The KR501 Fingerprint Control Board utilizes capacitive fingerprint sensing technology to capture and match unique biometric patterns. It features an onboard processor for template storage and matching, delivering a secure digital output signal upon successful verification.

Engineered for reliability, the board operates across a broad temperature range typical for consumer electronics and includes a dedicated INIT_KEY pin for resetting the fingerprint database to its factory initialization state. Its low-power design makes it suitable for battery-backed or always-on security applications.

Key Features

  • High-Capacity Biometric Storage: Securely stores and matches up to 20 fingerprint templates.
  • Broad Voltage Compatibility: Functions reliably from 3.7V to 10V DC, accommodating various power sources.
  • Power-Optimized Design: Features an ultra-low standby current (2.5-7 µA) for energy-efficient continuous operation.
  • Direct Drive Output: Delivers a robust 3.3V, 500mA signal for one second to control external actuators without additional buffering.
  • Compact Form Factor: 36mm circular board facilitates neat installation in access control panels, safes, and DIY projects.
  • Simple Management Interface: Includes tactile registration and a dedicated hardware pin (INIT_KEY) for easy fingerprint database management and reset.

Applications

  • DIY Smart Door Locks and Access Control Systems for homes and offices.
  • Secure Activation for Toolboxes, Safes, and Personal Storage Cabinets.
  • Biometric Time & Attendance Systems for small-scale workforce management.
  • User Authentication in Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or ESP32-based security projects.
  • Personalized Ignition or Power Enable Systems for custom vehicles or machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the KR501 Fingerprint Control Board?

The KR501 operates from a wide DC voltage range of 3.7V to 10V. This flexibility allows it to be powered by a single Li-ion cell (3.7V), a 5V USB supply, or regulated power adapters up to 10V, making it compatible with various project power supplies.

How do I register a new fingerprint and how many can be stored?

To register a fingerprint, long-press a registered finger (or any finger in the initial state) until the blue LED lights and a tone sounds. Then, press the finger multiple times on the sensor until a success tone plays. The module can store and match up to 20 unique fingerprint templates.

What kind of output signal does the board provide upon a successful match?

Upon a successful fingerprint match, the OUT1 pin outputs a high-level signal of 3.3V with a 500mA current capability for a duration of one second. This signal is sufficient to directly trigger a relay module, solenoid lock, or other 3.3V logic devices without an additional driver.

How do I reset the module to delete all stored fingerprints?

You can reset the fingerprint database in two ways: 1) Long-press a registered fingerprint until the red LED lights, indicating a full deletion. 2) In standby mode, ground the dedicated INIT_KEY pin until the red LED lights and a tone sounds, then disconnect. Both methods restore the module to its initial state.
