Are Parking Sensor Probes Interchangeable?
1 Answers
Parking sensor probes are not interchangeable because different brands of parking sensors have varying interfaces, parameters, and other specifications, making them incompatible. The parking sensor probe emits an ultrasonic signal at a specific moment, which reflects off the detected object and is received by the parking sensor. By calculating the time it takes for the ultrasonic signal to travel from emission to reception of the echo signal and knowing the propagation speed in the medium, the distance to the detected object can be determined. Parking sensor probes may come with a housing and wiring or as bare probes. The products undergo high and low temperature aging for stable performance, with outer diameters ranging from 10mm to 22mm. Various models and specifications of probes are generally designed according to specific needs.
