Infrared detector MTS1TEMP56

thermalprocessfor medical applications

The MEMS-based MTS1TEMP56 detects infrared radiation for non-contact temperature measurement. The 56 silicon thermopiles absorb the incoming radiated energy. The integrated mass absorber ensures the efficient conversion of the radiated energy into thermal energy. The thermocouples convert this thermal energy into electrical energy, which is output as a measurement signal. The single channel thermopile is the best choice for mass applications with quantities above 50000 pieces per year in medical and life science applications or in building automation. The TO46 package with small dimensions makes this component especially suitable for mobile devices. With a detectivity up to 0.67 *10^8 cm√Hz/W as well as a sensitivity up to 31 V/W, the materials offer reliable measurement results at a very good price/performance ratio. Nitrogen was used as backfill gas and a filter with a transmission cut on 5.5 µm. ATTENTION: 1 piece packaging unit contains 200 detectors each!
