Dexter Research Center announces the availability of its new ST60 High Temperature Detectors. The specially constructed MEMS based thermopiles can withstand operating temperatures of 300°C with silicon windows and 225° with coated windows.  The silicon-based detectors are available in TO-5 packages with an active are of 0.61mm x 0.61mm.

The new High Temperature detector offers exciting performance opportunities in non-contact temperature measurement applications such as work piece monitoring in ovens, heat gun target monitoring and fire detection/suppression in extreme environments. A new filter attachment technique provides hermeticity that makes the detector rugged and reliable in hostile environments and eliminates the need for shielding and/or cooling in high temperature applications.
