Pyroelectric Proximity Infrared Sensor Modules

KEMET Pyroelectric Proximity Infrared Sensor Modules use the pyroelectric proximity effect of ceramic by absorbing infrared rays emitted from the human body. This detects the natural infrared signature produced by humans. It can detect infrared rays without using lenses, allowing a detection distance of up to 2m. By adding a KEMET proprietary lens, the detection distance can be further improved up to 5m. The lens is available in three color options to enable design flexibility. KEMET Pyroelectric Proximity Sensor Modules in the module solution are even easier to install, with the driving being already included in the package for "plug and sense".
