Panasonic EKMB Series PIR Motion Sensors are designed for ultra-low current consumption, making them ideal for battery-driven applications where extended battery life is critical. Thanks to special circuit design technology, EKMB Series Sensors offer standby current options of 1μA, 2μA, and 6μA, significantly reducing power usage compared to traditional sensors.
With the launch of PaPIRs+, the EKMB Series now features enhanced sensitivity and a broader selection of lens types and detection ranges. Lens options include lensless, with distance detection up to 24 meters. Other options are wall installation, horizontally wide, high-density long distance, low profile, standard, flat wide, ultra slight motion, ultra wide & long distance, wide area, and spot types. All lens types are available in black, white, and pearl white finishes, allowing for flexible installation and aesthetic integration.
This expanded lineup means EKMB Series Sensors can be tailored for a wide range of applications, from standard motion detection to ultra-slight motion and long-distance sensing, while maintaining the low power consumption that sets the series apart.

All-in-One Plug-and-Play Sensor


Underneath the lens of Panasonic’s PIR (Passive Infrared) Sensors is a special design that uses a single-chip ASIC solution and four-element array pyroelectric sensing elements. The internal circuitry is integrated both amplifier and comparator circuits contained inside a TO-5 metal can with an optical filter to allow infrared to pass through while also preventing interferences caused by electromagnetic fields, such as those generated by cell phones and wireless devices.
