KEMET PL-Q873-02

KEMET’s Pyroelectric Infrared Sensors have a low profile design and can be used without a lens to enable miniaturized designs and are ideal to detect human proximity by IR presence. KEMET’s proprietary piezoelectric ceramic material and structural development of the pyroelectric infrared sensor enables human presence detection through solid plastic materials or glass, which allows more mechanical and optical appearance design possibilities of the end product. The sensor can be used without a lens or, to extend the detection range, a proprietary KEMET lens can be used in 3 different colors.

• Reflow capable SMD configuration
• Lens not required
• A lens can be attached to the sensor
• Wide view angle up to ±60 degrees (lensless)
• View angle up to ±37/±28 degrees (with lens)
• Detection possible through glass or resin
• Low power consumption, down in the μA range
• Excellent radio wave performance in high - frequency band
• Compact and low profile (5.0×4.8×1.7 mm)

• Contact less switching
• Office automation equipment
• Home appliances
• Lighting
• Display products
• Air - conditioners
• TV
• PC monitors
• Rice cookers
• Smart toilets
