PL Pyroelectric Infrared Sensors
Overview
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.
