An ultrasonic transducer module for an ultrasonic sensor for detection and/or examination of value documents which includes at least one piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer with electrical connecting strands, and a mounting module for holding the ultrasonic transducer for mounting on a connection support. The mounting module has conducting paths which are electrically connected to the connecting strands of the ultrasonic transducer and which have contact areas which are so configured that the ultrasonic transducer module is placeable for mounting onto a surface of the connection support on which there are located contact areas complementary to the conducting path contact areas, with the contact areas and the complementary contact areas being solderable to each other.

Ultrasonic sensor for value documents, transducer module for said sensor, and method for manufacturing the ultrasonic sensor

The present invention relates to an apparatus for processing documents of value having a sensor device for checking the documents of value and a transport device by means of which the documents of value are transported along a transport direction past the sensor device. On a side opposing the sensor device there is disposed a guide element for passively guiding the document of value, which is moved as soon as several documents of value are transported at the same time past the sensor device. By the guide element according to the invention, documents of value can be reliably and accurately checked without great effort.
