Low-Profile PIR Motion Sensor

Panasonic's low-profile PIR motion sensor line is an extension to the existing EKMB and EKMC series line ups. Featuring an updated lens design, Panasonic's PIR sensors offer a lower-profile alternative to standard lens design (10.9 mm versus 14.4 mm height).

Panasonic's low-profile PIR motion sensors consist of a lens to create various detection zones, an optical filter to block non-infrared light, pyroelectric sensing elements, and an impedance converter to get an electrical signal. In addition, Panasonic also integrates an amplifier and comparator circuit on the same chip densely packed inside the stem block. The low-profile PIR motion sensors feature a one-chip ASIC design which is superior to discreet solutions by saving space, adding electromagnetic shielding to all circuitry, and cutting down on the number of components required. These sensors are available in white, black, and pearl white.
