PerkinElmer TPS 334 Thermopile Detector Datasheet
The TPS 334 is a thermopile sensor housed in a TO‑5 type package with a 0.7 × 0.7 mm² absorber area and a 30 kΩ thermistor temperature reference. It is designed for temperature measurement applications such as pyrometers and ear thermometers and can be equipped with a G9 (8‑14 mm) filter for precision remote sensing.
The datasheet details absolute maximum ratings, electrical parameters (responsivity 55 V/W, time constant 25 ms, noise voltage 35 nV/√Hz, NEP 0.64 nW/√Hz, detectivity 1.1 × 10⁸ cm√Hz/W), mechanical drawing, filter characteristics, and handling precautions including ESD protection and soldering limits. Quality is ensured by ISO‑9001 certification and lot acceptance testing.
