KEMET introduces the latest environmental sensor solutions for industrial applications

     KEMET continues to enhance solutions for industrial applications with its range of environmental PIR sensors. By leveraging pyroelectric effects, these thin-film PZT sensors achieve high sensitivity and fast response times for applications as diverse as industrial automation, lighting, and power distribution, ensuring fast and accurate detection of gases, flames, motion, food, and organic compounds.

     These high-quality environmental sensors are built with hybrid microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology and packaged in small surface mount devices (SMDS) to meet the application requirements of portable and battery-operated detectors. Their low power consumption, low maintenance, insensitivity to mechanical and thermal shock, stable performance, and up to 15 years of service life make them ideal for small smart IoT (Internet of Things) devices in industrial, consumer, automotive and medical applications. Compatible with industry-standard I2C communications, these sensors enable plug-and-play connectivity to microcontrollers, making them also very easy to configure, adjust and calibrate.

     Kimi's environmental PIR sensors are manufactured using standard semiconductor manufacturing processes and are ideal for industrial applications. These components are positioned for growth in the environmental sensors market. According to a report released by 360 Market Updates in 2020, the global environmental sensors market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4% from 2020 to 2025, reaching a market capitalization of $1,550.1 billion by 2025.
