Sensor solutions from Panasonic cover a wide range of sensing technologies, including their latest Grid-EYE® Thermopile Array sensors, particulate matter (PM) sensor for monitoring air quality, a large selection of Passive Infrared or Pyroelectric PIR Motion Sensors (PaPIRs) and more.
Panasonic’s Grid Eye® infrared array sensor consists of 64 pixels and can detect a temperature distribution in a two-dimensional area without any contact. It includes a built-in lens with a 60-degree viewing angle and comes in a compact SMD package. Potential applications for this sensor are human detection, people counting, thermal mapping, automatic doors and robotics.
EKMC and EKMB series of PIR sensors for motion detection feature standard detection type as well as more tailored sensor solutions with varying angles of a field of view and sensitivity. With different variants supporting current consumptions of 1, 2 6, and 170µA, the sensor can be utilized in both wired and battery-powered applications.
Laser type PM sensor packs an on-board microprocessor, micro-fan and laser diode in a very small footprint of W37 x D37 x H12 mm and can detect dust particles as small as 0.3 µm in size.
Other components for industrial applications from Panasonic include PhotoMOS relays, wireless connectivity modules, signal and power relays and much more.
