SKIPPER 10x12° (Art no: ETF38A) 38khz/ 2,5kW External mount housing

The twenty-four piezoceramic element, sets the standard for excellent performance. The expoxy resin housing with integral acousting window achieves a balance of very low ringing, low sidelobes, and very excellent sensitivity.


Features
* Max power 2,5kW
* High echo amplitudes achieved with excellent transmitting and receiving voltage response
* Excellent ring suppression and very low Q provides for remarkable echo definition
* PZT piezoceramic array provides high acoustic efficiency
* Good definition in hard bottoms with low sidelobes
* Streamlined shape reduces drag

Specifications
* Housing material: cast urethane
