One world. One KEMET
Overview
KEMETs Pyroelectric Infrared Sensors use the pyroelectric
effect of ceramic by absorbing infrared rays emitted from
the human body. This detects the natural infrared signature
produced by humans. Also, it can detect infrared rays
without using lenses.
Due to the absence of a lens, KEMET’s Pyro Sensor is low
prole, as it does not protrude, which makes it ideal for
gathering visual requirements. With KEMETs proprietary
piezoelectric ceramic material and element structure of
the Pyroelectric Infrared Sensor, humans can be detected
through resin. This allows more freedom in the design of
the outer appearance of the end product.
By adding a KEMET proprietary lens the detection distance
can be further improved. Three different color lenses also
enable some design exibility. The sensors now packaged
in our module solution are even easier to install and the
driving being already included in the package, makes it
really just “plug and sense”.
