Product Overview
The TA0180KA 180kHz ultrasonic transducer is designed for short-range non-contact distance measurement applications with a detect range of 0.1 to 2 meters. With a blind zone of less than 0.1m, this ultrasonic distance sensor is suitable for compact position sensing, short-range approach measurement, obstacle detection, and industrial distance detection systems.
This model features a 180kHz ±4% center frequency and a narrow 7° ±1° beam angle for focused ultrasonic detection. The TA0180KA also provides IP65 protection, a PBT housing, and high-frequency ultrasonic performance for applications requiring short blind zone, narrow directivity, and compact sensing capability.

Mechanical Design
The TA0180KA uses a compact ultrasonic sensor structure with a PBT housing. The product drawing on the specification sheet shows a circular sensing face with a compact body and cable outlet, making it suitable for short-range ultrasonic sensing layouts where installation space is limited.
The dimensional drawing indicates a compact mechanical design with a front diameter reference of approximately Φ28mm, body depth reference of approximately 13mm, and cable length reference of approximately 400mm. Its small structure and high-frequency design make the TA0180KA suitable for compact sensing systems requiring close-range detection.
Electrical and Test Information
The TA0180KA specification includes an admittance curve, overall sensitivity test information, and pointing angle curve. The overall sensitivity condition is listed as 0dB = 250Vp-p, cycle: 50, and 30cm test distance using transmitter and receiver configuration.
The above performance specifications were conducted in a 25°C environment. Engineers should consider actual installation conditions, temperature, target material, and acoustic environment when integrating the sensor into a measurement system.
