T34 Compensated Thermopile Detector

Thin Film Based Thermopile Detector

Features:
A three-channel compensated (6 element) thin-film thermopile in a TO-8 package. Each active area is 3.16mm x 0.4mm. Offers thermal compensation to minimize effect of sudden ambient temperature change. Internal aperture minimizes channel-to-channel crosstalk while increasing sensitivity.
Applications:
Gas analysis for automotive, environmental air quality, industrial and medical monitoring.
Benefit:
3-channels in a TO-8 package with moderate output.
Options:
  1. See Standard Windows and Filters (PDF) for list of optical filter options.
  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.
