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, 5m, 12m, and 17m long-distance detection. 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.

The Latest PIR Sensor Lens Design Type Options
Extremely Low Profile For a Flush Design Look
Panasonic's “Flat Square Lens” Type PIR Motion Sensors offer both a low profile and flat surface granting a flush design look with the surface of the build and are available within the EKMB and EKMC Series product line up. This new lens type creates various detection zones, an optical filter to block non-infrared light, and more!
Offers Wide Detection Spanning Over 10.8 Meters
Offers Improved Sensitivity In Slight Motion Applications
Panasonic's "Ultra Slight Motion" Type PIR Motion Sensors are available within the EKMB and EKMC Series product line up. Featuring a new lens design option, these PIR Motion Sensors are designed to provide ultra slight motion detection. Their high signal to noise ratio ensures the prevention of false triggers.
A "Low Profile" 10.9mm Profile Alternative
Offers Detection in a Single Axis up to 150 Degrees
A Field of View Optimized for Pet Immunity Applications
Newest Product Highlights
The EKMB Series PIR Motion Sensors are available in 6µA High Sensitivity Type options and feature the following:
- High Sensitivity For Detection Performance
- Plug And Play Solution With Digital Output
- Sensors Contain Single-Chip ASIC That Contains Internal Amplifier And Comparator Circuit To Simplify Design
- High Signal-To-Noise Ratio Ensures Prevention Of False Triggers
