Thermopile IR Temperature Sensors
Thermopile sensors are designed to measure temperature from a distance by detecting an object's infrared (IR) energy. The higher the temperature, the more IR energy is emitted. The thermopile sensing element, composed of small thermocouples on a silicon chip, absorb the energy and produce an output signal. A reference sensor is designed into the package as a reference for compensation. Thermopile infrared (IR) temperature sensors measure non-contact temperature and are available with various lens, and filters allowing use in multiple applications, from industrial pyrometers, to climate controls and medical devices. TE Connectivity's (TE) thermopile infrared sensors provide reliable non-contact temperature measurement solutions.
