Proximity Sensors SS Pyroelectric Infrared Sensor Modules Overview Applications KEMET’s 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 profile, as it does not protrude, which makes it ideal for gathering visual requirements. With KEMET’s 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. 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...
