Dexter's DR34 is a thin-film thermopile detector that comes in a TO-5 package. It is a dual channel device having a two-channel or one-channel design that delivers low noise output.
The dimensions of each active area are 3.16mm x 0.4mm. The channel-to-channel crosstalk is minimized using an internal aperture, thereby improving the device’s sensitivity.
Benefits
The main benefits of the Dexter's DR34 thermopile detector include:
Dual channel design
Low noise
High sensitivity
Reduced channel-to-channel crosstalk
Applications
The major applications of the Dexter's DR34 thermopile detector include:
Analysis of environmental air quality including greenhouse gases
Industrial and medical monitoring including infant incubators
Automotive gas analysis
