JSN_SR04T Waterproof Ultrasonic Distance Measuring Module

Key Specifications

  • Working Voltage: DC 3V-5.5V (often 5V)
  • Operating Current: <8mA (static <5mA)
  • Probe Frequency: 40kHz
  • Detection Range: 20cm – 600cm (Near Range: ~20cm, optimal: 25cm-450cm)
  • Accuracy: ±1cm (typical)
  • Measurement Angle: ~75° (or ±37.5°)
  • Waterproof Rating: IP65 (Probe)
  • Interface: 4-Pin (VCC, GND, Trig, Echo)
  • Cable Length: ~2.5 meters (probe to module)

How It Works

  1. Trigger: Send a 10µs high pulse to the Trig pin.
  2. Transmit: The module sends out eight 40kHz ultrasonic pulses.
  3. Echo: When a wave reflects, the Echo pin goes high for a duration (time-of-flight).
  4. Calculate: Distance = (Echo Pulse Duration × Speed of Sound (340 m/s)) / 2.

Pinout & Connection (Arduino Example)

  • VCC: 5V
  • GND: GND
  • Trig: Digital Pin (e.g., D3)
  • Echo: Digital Pin (e.g., D2)
