ST60 LCC Thermopile Detector

Silicon Based Thermopile Detector

Features:
A single-channel silicon-based thermopile in a LCC package for surface mount assembly in a small active area of 0.61mm x 0.61mm. Time constant of 18ms with Nitrogen encapsulation gas. Delivers a very low Temperature Coefficient of Responsivity of -0.04%/°C. This detector has a very short thermal shock response to ambient temperature chang
Applications:
Excellent for non-contact temperature, and horizon sensor.
Benefit:
Low cost surface mount assembly and small active area size with medium output.
Options:
  1. See Standard Windows and Filters (PDF) for list of optical filter options.
  2. ST60R LCC version offers a low-cost (20% tolerance) poly-silicon resistor to be used as a PTC thermistor.
  3. Internal 30kΩ 5% NTC chip thermistor provides ambient package temperature measurement. See DC-4005 section of Thermistor Options (PDF).
  4. Internal aperture precisely defines active area for applications with FOV and/or spot size requirements. See Aperture Options (PDF) for available sizes.
  5. See Thermopile Configuration Table for more options.

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