NU200E12TR-5 12mm 200kHz Ultrasonic Distance Sensor

The NU200E12TR-5 operates as a piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer using time-of-flight (ToF) measurement. It emits a 200kHz sound wave and measures the echo return time to calculate distance. Its effective detection range is from 0.1 meters (10 cm) up to 2 meters in reflective conditions.

The sensor requires a driving signal with a maximum input voltage of 100V peak-to-peak. Its nominal operating frequency is 200kHz ±8kHz. Key electrical parameters include a static capacitance of 1000pF ±20% and a minimum parallel resistance of 200Ω ±30%, which must be considered when designing the external driver and receiver circuits.

The sensor has a 20° ±2° azimuth angle (-3dB), defining its field of view. A minimum echo sensitivity of -65dB ensures it can reliably detect weak return signals from distant or low-reflectivity targets. This combination allows for reliable object detection within the conical coverage area while maintaining good signal integrity.

The product data does not specify an IP rating or extended temperature range. As a basic transducer element, it is primarily designed for integration into protected systems. For outdoor or harsh industrial environments, additional protective housing, sealing, and signal conditioning would be required to ensure reliable operation.
