Fort Worth, Texas – May 27, 2020 – TTI, Inc., a leading specialty distributor of electronic components, is now stocking the Panasonic’s Grid-EYE® Infrared Array Sensors. These Panasonic Grid-EYE® Infrared Array Sensors are surface mountable and feature 64 thermopile elements in an 8x8 grid format that detect absolute temperatures by infrared radiation. Grid-EYE is able to provide thermal images by measuring actual temperature and temperature gradients. Grid-EYE enables detection of multiple persons, identification of positions and direction of movement, almost independent of ambient light conditions without disturbing privacy as with conventional cameras. The built-in silicon lens provides a viewing angle of 60°. Measurement values are viewable through an I²C interface in 1 or 10 frames per second. The interrupt signal output delivers a quick response to time-critical events for a high degree of flexibility.

This sensor will be great for home appliances, energy saving for home or office lighting systems, digital signage, and automatic doors.  To learn more, visit the Panasonic Grid-Eye Sensors product page.
