OTC-236-21

OTC-236 THERMOPILE INFRARED SENSOR ▓ Features The thermopile sensor consists of a series of 44 thermoelements, forming a sensitive area of 0.5*0.5 mm2. The sensor is hermetically sealed into a TO-5 metal housing, with an optical filter. This standard filter allows measurements to be made in the spectral range above 5 µm wavelength. The thermosensor exhibits an almost white noise, comparable to an ohmic resistance. It has a constant signal versus frequency up to its frequency limit, and is directly proportional to incident radiation. ▓ Applications * Ear thermometers; clinic thermometers * Infrared thermometers * Consumer applications: hair dryer, micro-wave oven, air conditioner, refrigerator * Continuous temperature control of manufacturing * Security system * Radiation monitor switch system * Absorbing measurement for gas analysis * Thermoelectric converter * Heat flux flowmeter ▓ Electrical Characteristics Parameter Thermopile Number of thermojunctions Chip size Active area Condition Min.
