Dexter Research Center announces the availability of its new ST60 High Temperature Detector. The silicon-based detector is available in a TO-5 package with an operating range from -50°C to 225°C. The new high performing detector has an active area of 0.61mm x 0.61mm and can withstand operating temperatures of 225°C., a full 40°C more than its nearest competitor.

The new High Temperature detector offers exciting performance opportunities in non-contact temperature measurement applications such as work piece monitoring in ovens, heat gun target monitoring and fire detection/suppression in extreme environments. A new filter attachment technique provides hermeticity that makes the detector rugged and reliable in hostile environments and eliminates the need for shielding and/or cooling in high temperature applications.

A volume manufacturer, as well as the global center of expertise for infrared detectors since 1977, Dexter Research Center, Inc., Dexter, Michigan, offers more than 900 product configurations and continues to lead the industry in the design, development and production of high quality, high output thin film and silicon-based infrared sensing thermopile sensors.
