Silicon Based Thermopile Detector

Features:
A single-channel silicon-based thermopile that offers the smallest single element active area size at 0.25mm x 0.25mm in a small TO-18 package. Delivers a very fast 12ms time constant in Argon encapsulation gas and even faster with Neon gas at 9ms. Delivers a very low Temperature Coefficient of Responsivity of -0.04%/°C.
Applications:
Excellent for non-contact temperature measurement when extremely small spot size is a design requirement.
Benefit:
Small active area, fast time constant in a small package with lower output that has a higher cost.
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.
