ST60 Quad Silicon Based Thermopile Detector: 4 Channels

Features

A four-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 four-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 and laser targeting.

Benefit

Low cost in TO-5 package with 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 Quad version offers a low-cost (20% tolerance) poly-silicon resistor to be used as a PTC thermistor.
