Announcing the World’s Best Surface Mount Package
Dexter Research Center announces the availability of “the flat pack”. This surface mount package allows for a lower profile than standard TO-5 packaging, the new device is a single-channel silicon-based thermopile in a LCC package for surface mount assembly. The company believes it to be the world’s best surface mount thermopile.
The flat pack enables thermopile technology and performance to be available in a surface mount package. Benefits include a small active area of 0.61mm x 0.61mm, and a time constant of 18ms with nitrogen encapsulation gas. The device deliver a very low Temperature Coefficient of Responsivity of minus 0.04%/°C. This detector has a very short thermal shock response to ambient temperature change.
Available with Dexter Research’s industry-leading choice of options, the ST60R LCC version offers a poly-silicon resistor to be used as a PTC thermistor. Also available, an internal 30kW 5% NTC chip thermistor provides ambient package temperature measurement.
Housing the ST60 and the company’s new ST120 elements, the device allows for ultra low profile packaging yet offers an easily adjusted field of view. The Flat Pack is ideal for today’s automated pick-and-place manufacturing processes.
A volume manufacturer, as well as the global center of expertise for infrared detectors since 1977, Dexter Research Center, Inc., Dexter, Michigan, offers 30 models and over 600 products, more than all competitors combined. Enjoying record growth in 2005, Dexter Research continues to lead the industry in the design, development and production of high quality, high output thin film and silicon-based infrared sensing thermopile sensors.
