Panasonic’s Newest Grid-EYE® Narrow Angle Sensor Offers High Precision Based on MEMS Technology!

The new Grid-EYE® Narrow Angle Infrared Array Sensor (part number: AMG883642) is a surface-mount device with a 35.6-degree field of view. It can focus on closer objects and has enough pixels to identify and measure them accurately.

Compared to the current Grid-EYE Sensor, the Grid-EYE® Narrow Angle provides improved viewing from 60 degrees to 35.6 degrees while maintaining the same footprint. This PCB-mountable device of the SMD type has a high-resolution 8x8 for 64 pixels for temperature distribution.

The applications of the Grid-EYE® Narrow Angle include HVAC, home appliances, security, BEMS, and industrial electronics. It can be useful for temperature distribution and people detection, temperature distribution in cooking appliances, people tracking through thermal imaging, and smarter building management systems.
