What Is an Infrared Thermopile Detector?

Sat, 07/01/2006 - 00:00

Thermopile detectors convert thermal potential differences into electric potential differences for contact and non-contact temperature sensing and presence sensing. They are cheap, interchangeable, have standard connectors, and can measure a wide range of temperatures. Our designs lend themselves easily to analog and digital systems.

Dexter Research pioneered the affordable infrared thermopile detector. Our thermopile detectors are accurate with ±0.5°C or better. Dexter’s products are 100% tested prior to shipping and display a remarkable reliability-durability curve.
