company blog about (Supply) Panasonic PaPIRs™ Pyroelectric Infrared Sensor — Model: EKMC1603112 ‘Machine Use’ Scenario

Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd. offers Panasonic PaPIRs™ pyroelectric infrared sensors in stock — Model: EKMC1603112. This sensor is an ideal choice for ‘machine-use’ applications such as security cameras, smart homes, and industrial automation.

EKMC1603112 Product Overview
The Panasonic EKMC1603112 is a pyroelectric infrared sensor designed specifically for ‘machine-use’ applications, capable of efficiently detecting thermal radiation signals from human or animal movement. The EKMC1603112 belongs to the Panasonic PaPIRs™ series, featuring a TO-5 metal package with a high protection rating, making it suitable for industrial-grade applications.

EKMC1603112 Features
High-Sensitivity Detection
The EKMC1603112 can detect infrared radiation with wavelengths of 5–10 μm, making it particularly suitable for human detection. It has a maximum sensing distance of 12 metres (472 inches) and a wide-angle detection range of 102°, enabling coverage of a broader area.
Low-power design
The EKMC1603112 operates at a current as low as 0.8 mA (typical), making it suitable for battery-powered devices. Some data indicates that its operating current can be as low as 170 μA, further extending the lifespan of battery-powered products.
Interference resistance
The EKMC1603112 employs a dual-element thermopile structure to effectively suppress environmental temperature changes and electromagnetic interference. The entire circuit is encapsulated in a metal housing, providing high electromagnetic shielding capability and reducing the likelihood of false operations.
Digital Output
The EKMC1603112 supports digital signal output, enabling direct reading by an MCU and simplifying system design.
