Surface mount thermopile detectors

JonDeTech, developes and produces the next generation passive infrared sensors. Applications include proximity heat sensing, presence and motion detectors as well as contactless thermometers. Our thermopile modules are robust and flat and are made of plastic. The unique form factor of this square "IR-chip" and the material choice makes it possible to surface mount the sensor on any PCB carrier (e.g. flex PCB).

The thermopile gives a direct, proportional voltage response when subjected to infrared light (thermal radiation) or heat. The sensors register wavelengths from visual light up to the mid infrared region (at least 20 µm). The unique geometrical configuration where the thermocouple leads/legs are "vertically" arranged makes it possible to also use it as a heat flux or ΔT sensor, i.e. the heat gradient over the thickness (less than 0.2 mm) of the thermopile chip is actually measured

Since these thermopile SMCs are robust they can be used "bare", i.e. without protective housing such as a metal container

Are you are interested? Please contact us and specify your thermopile requirements in the request form, and we will find out if we can fulfill these. We can supply you with a application development kit for you to evaluate.
