Hi fellow engineers
We have designed a range sensor by using this ultrasonics transducer
MCUSD18A40B12RS - MULTICOMP - TRANSCEIVER, 40KHZ, 18MM, METAL | Farnell element14 Danmark
as both a receiver and transmitter
It works fine on the PCB alone. But when we put the PCb into a plastic box, with a hole matching the tip of the sensor, it no longer works
We can make it work by cutting the hole bigger, so that the entire sensor is exposed. But then the box is no longer water tight..
The idea was that it should all be molded into the box, but this will also not be possible since this will require that the hole is tight
So my question is does anybody know how such a transducer is supposed to be installed in a box and still work?
