DR46 Compensated

DR46 Compensated Detector
DR46 Compensated Detector

Thin Film Based Thermopile Detector

Features:
A one-channel compensated thin-film thermopile in a TO-8 package. The active area and compensating element area are 4mm x 0.6mm each. Offers high output with very good signal-to-noise ratio. Internal aperture minimizes channel-to-channel crosstalk increasing sensitivity.
Applications:
Non-contact temperature measurement, fire detection / suppression.
Benefit:
High output, low noise compensated rectangular shaped active area in a TO-8 package.
Options:
  1. See Standard Windows and Filters (PDF) for list of optical filter options.
  2. See Thermopile Configuration Table for more options.
Datasheet:
For more detailed information see the datasheet

Specifications apply at 23°C with KBr Window and Argon encapsulating gas.
