DR34 - Compensated Thin-Film Thermopile Detector

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
