Proximity Sensors
SS Pyroelectric Infrared Sensor Modules
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.
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”.
Applications
Typical applications include human presence detection
sensing for energy saving functions in:
• Contact less switching
• Office automation equipment
• Home applicances
• Lighting
• Display products
• Air-conditioners
• TV
• PC monitors
• Rice cookers
• Smart toilets
