The ST60 LCC is a single-channel silicon-based thermopile that comes in a LCC package for surface mount assembly with a small active area of 0.61 x 0.61mm.
With a low temperature coefficient of responsivity of -0.04%/°C, the thermopile detector has a time constant of 18ms with nitrogen encapsulation gas. It exhibits a very short thermal shock response to changes in the ambient temperature.
Benefits
The ST60 LCC offers the following benefits:
- Low cost surface mount assembly
- Small active area size with medium output
Options
The options available include:
- A range of optical filter options are available
- ST60R LCC version offers a cost-effective (20% tolerance) poly-silicon resistor for use as a PTC thermistor
- Internal 30kΩ 5% NTC chip thermistor delivers ambient package temperature measurement
- Internal aperture accurately defines active area for applications with FOV and/or spot size requirements
Applications
The following are the applications of ST60 LCC:
- Ideal for non-contact temperature measurement
- Horizon sensor
