# Fingerprint Sensor

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** SEN0188 · **Brand:** [DFRobot](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/dfrobot-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/fingerprint-sensor-32838.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/fingerprint-sensor-32838.html.md))

This is an Arduino compatible fingerprint module. With the high speed DSP processor, it could also work with other serial device, like MSP430, 51, AVR, PIC, STM32, ARM and FPGA device. This fingerprint module could work alone without any principal computer or any PC software. It could store 1000 fingerprint. Support fingerprint entry, intelligent image processing, fingerprint comparison and fingerprint search mode. It also has a high sensitivity to both wet and dry fingerprint recognition.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $59.60 (inc GST) — $54.18 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 6+ $51.47 (exc GST) · 12+ $49.31 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 1 today, and up to 65 more in 8–12 days.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SEN0188:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/SEN0188:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)
