ST60 TO-5 Thermopile Detector

Silicon Based Thermopile Detector

Features:
A single-channel silicon-based thermopile with integrated diffractive lens and internal baffle that provides lowest cost solutions in a small active area of 0.61mm x 0.61mm in a TO-5 package. Time constant of 18ms with Nitrogen encapsulation gas and a 9° FOV. Delivers a very low Temperature Coefficient of Responsivity of -0.04%/°C. This detector has a very short thermal shock response to ambient temperature change.
Applications:
Excellent for 9° FOV non-contact temperature.
Benefit:
Low cost, narrow FOV, and small active area size with medium output.
Options:
  1. ST60R TO-5 version offers a low-cost (20% tolerance) poly-silicon resistor to be used as a PTC thermistor.
  2. Internal 30kΩ 5% NTC chip thermistor provides ambient package temperature measurement. See DC-4005 section of Thermistor Options (PDF).
  3. See Thermopile Configuration Table for more options.
Datasheet:

Specifications apply at 23°C with AR coated Diffractive Lens (P/N: DC-6132) and Nitrogen encapsulating gas.
