1045_1B Phidget Temperature Sensor IR
Measure the temperature of an object from a distance with this IR temperature sensor. Plugs directly into a USB port.
The late restock date for this product is due to IR temperature sensor part shortages caused by COVID-19.
Estimated Restock Date: Fri Oct 01 2021
The 1045 is an intelligent non-contact temperature sensor with a 10° field of view and a USB interface for easy connection to your computer. It takes an average of the temperature of objects placed within its cone of detection.
The 1045 outputs a continuous data flow every 32ms with an active alarm running in the background.; the temperature output data for distant objects ranges from -70°C to 380°C.
This particular revision of the 1045 has the circuitry placed on the reverse side of the board, to reduce measurement errors caused by self-heating.
Applications
- Sensing and measuring surface temperatures without surface contact
- Monitoring a system for over-temperature conditions
- Temperature sensing element for a building's air conditioner
- Human or animal presence detection
- Movement detection
- Body temperature measurement
Comes Packaged with

- Hardware mounting kit:
- 4x M3 Bolts (2cm Length)
- 4x Plastic spacers (5mm Length)
- 4x M3 Nuts
