ST150

Features

A single-channel silicon-based thermopile that delivers a very low Temperature Coefficient of Responsivity of -0.04%/°C with a high output voltage and a quick time constant of 38ms. This Low-cost detector comes in a TO-5 package. This detector has a very short thermal shock response to ambient temperature change.

Applications

Excellent for gas analysis, fire detection, and non-contact temperature measurement.

Benefit

High output and low cost with larger 1.5mm x 1.5mm active area.

Options

See Standard Windows and Filters (PDF) for list of optical filter options.
Internal aperture precisely defines active area for applications with FOV and/or spot size requirements. See Aperture Options (PDF) for available sizes.
See Thermopile Configuration Table for more options.
Internal 30kΩ 5% NTC chip thermistor provides ambient package temperature measurement. See DC-4005 section of Thermistor Options (PDF).
ST150R version offers a low-cost (20% tolerance) poly-silicon resistor to be used as a PTC thermistor.
