KEMET PL Series Sensor Lens Pyroelectric IR Sensor Lens 37° PL-001L-BK

The KEMET PL-001L-BK is a PL Series Sensor Lens pyroelectric infrared sensor lens designed for precise detection of the natural infrared signature produced by humans. It operates by exploiting the pyroelectric effect in ceramic materials that absorb infrared rays emitted from the human body. This sensor is engineered to detect human presence through various mediums including glass or resin, providing flexibility in product design.

Its unique lens design provides a viewing angle of 37 degrees, offering accurate sensing coverage in applications requiring targeted infrared detection. The sensor’s low profile and lens-less variants make it ideal for use in compact electronic devices where visual aesthetics and compactness are priorities.

Designed as a surface mount device (SMD), the PL-001L-BK supports reflow soldering, simplifying manufacturing processes in automated assembly lines. Its low power consumption makes it suitable for applications demanding energy efficiency.

This Sensor Lens fully complies with international standards including REACH and RoHS, assuring users of its environmental friendliness and safe chemical substance management. The sensor’s pyroelectric ceramic material enables reliable human detection even through non-metallic barriers such as glass or resin.

The device can operate effectively without a lens, offering a wide view angle of up to ±60 degrees. When combined with the PL-001L-BK lens, the viewing angle is controlled to ±37 degrees for precise sensing. Compact dimensions allow versatile integration into multiple electronic designs.

Designed for low power electronic systems with efficient energy consumption. Reflow capable SMD configuration facilitates streamlined PCB assembly. Compliance with REACH and RoHS ensures sustainable and safe use in commercial and industrial settings.

Ideal for use in electronics, automation, and security systems requiring infrared sensing.

This product supports various industrial sectors including electronics manufacturing, security system installations, home automation, and other fields requiring motion or presence detection with infrared technology.
