Dexter Research Center, Inc.
Since 1977, Dexter Research has been the preferred provider of infrared thermopile detectors for science and industry. Today we offer the world's largest selection of thermopile-based solutions including high-quality, high-output Bismuth-Antimony thin film and silicon-based infrared-sensing thermopile detectors. We offer standard detectors in high volumes. We also customize detectors for specific needs. Integrated modules serve as complete sensing subsystems.

Temperature Measurement IR Sensors & Detectors
ST120 TO-5
-
A single-channel silicon-based thermopile provides lowest cost solutions in a small active area of 1.2mm x 1.2mm in a TO-5 package. Time constant of 25ms with Nitrogen encapsulation gas. Delivers a very low Temperature Coefficient of Responsivity of -0.04%/C. This detector has a very short thermal shock response to ambient temperature change.

Digital Solutions
-
Dexter's Digital Detectors and Temperature Sensor Modules (TSM's) are based on Dexter's superior silicon thermopile technology and incorporate an ASIC that provides a cost effective front end for reading out the detector output. The digital solutions include pre-amplification, A/D, multi-plexing and SMBus communications. Additionaly, the SMBus can accommodate communications with up to 100 digital products. Our digital solutions are housed in industry standard TO-5/TO-39 packages.

Fire Suppression/Detection
-
Dexter's sensitive yet rugged fire detectors, or fire sensors, serve as the foundation of US combat fire suppression systems on combat aircraft and ground vehicles ranging from the HUMVEE to the Abraham's Tank. Our fire sensors consume low energy, making them the premier safety component on battery-powered as well as hot-wired systems. We like to call them "the eye that never sleeps." How fast are they? Fast enough to race the fire caused by a rocket hitting a fuel tank and win, triggering fire suppression on the spot to help protect soldier and pilot alike. Rugged missions require rugged equipment. Intensive MIL-STD-883H testing performed by Trialon Corporation, an independent testing facility, confirm that Dexter Research's silicon-based temperature sensor detectors meet the same rugged requirements of 1,000G's for mechanical shock and 30G's in random vibration for which our thin-film detectors are famous.
