S25 TO-18

Features

A single-channel silicon-based thermopile that offers the smallest single element active area size at 0.25mm x 0.25mm in a small TO-18 package. Delivers a very fast 12ms time constant in Argon encapsulation gas and even faster with Neon gas at 9ms. Delivers a very low Temperature Coefficient of Responsivity of -0.04%/°C.

Applications

Excellent for non-contact temperature measurement when extremely small spot size is a design requirement.

Benefit

Small active area, fast time constant in a small package with lower output that has a higher cost.

Options

  • See Standard Windows and Filters (PDF) for list of optical filter options.
  • See Thermopile Configuration Table for more options.
