The Dakota NDT Single Contact Transducer is a versatile ultrasonic transducer featuring a 0.5-inch (1/2") diameter element with a center frequency of 5 MHz. Equipped with a convenient side-exit BNC connector and a durable High Wear (HW) face, this single element transducer is designed for a wide range of general-purpose ultrasonic testing applications requiring direct contact with the test material.  

The 5 MHz frequency offers an excellent balance of sensitivity and resolution, enabling the detection of various flaw sizes at moderate depths in numerous materials. The 0.5-inch diameter provides an optimal contact area for efficient and reliable sound transmission. The side-exit BNC connector offers practical cable routing, minimizing interference during scanning and enhancing user convenience. The inclusion of a High Wear face significantly extends the transducer's lifespan, particularly when used on challenging or abrasive surfaces, ensuring consistent performance over time.
