KEMET QFCE pyroelectric infrared flame sensors

KEMET’s QFCE pyroelectric flame sensors combine high sensitivity with fast response times and high dynamic range to ensure rapid and accurate detection of small and large flames, nearby or over larger distances. These high quality sensors, in their industry standard TO-39 package, integrate a digital, current mode read-out offering high responsivity over the full frequency range of flame flicker from 3Hz to 30Hz. Industry standard I²C communication enables plug-and-play connectivity to microcontrollers and allows easy tuning and calibration. Programmable gain and filtering offer maximum flexibility in system design. Their long and maintenance-free operational lifetime and various low power modes make these sensors ideal for any smart or IoT type of applications.
