ST60 Dual

Features

A two-channel silicon-based thermopile detector in a TO-5 package. Each small active area size is 0.61mm x 0.61mm. This is our lowest-cost and fastest time constant two-channel detector. It delivers a time constant of 18ms with Nitrogen encapsulation gas combined with a very low Temperature Coefficient of Responsivity of -0.04%/°C. This detector has a very short thermal shock response to ambient temperature change.

Applications

Gas analysis in handheld gas monitors for automotive exhaust, industrial/environmental leak detection and air quality monitoring.

Benefit

Low cost and small active area size with medium output.

Options

  • See Standard Windows and Filters (PDF) for list of optical filter options.
  • 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).
  • ST60R Dual version offers a low-cost (20% tolerance) poly-silicon resistor to be used as a PTC thermistor.
