## Description

The KEMET PL-Q873-02 is a surface-mount (SMD) pyroelectric infrared sensor from the PL series, utilizing a lead titanium zirconium oxide (PZT) material system to detect thermal radiation changes in motion and proximity applications. Designed for short-range detection up to 2 meters, this sensor features a wide horizontal and vertical field of view with a 60-degree beam angle. It operates across a versatile power supply voltage range of 2VDC to 15VDC, producing a maximum source voltage output between 0.3mV and 0.9mV. 

Packaged in a compact surface-mount profile measuring 5mm in length, 4.8mm in width, and 1.7mm in height with a typical component weight of 100 mg, the sensor is supplied on tape and reel (T&R) in quantities of 2,000 units. The device operates reliably within a temperature range of -40°C to +70°C and supports storage conditions from -40°C to +85°C. Requiring a maximum warm-up time of 30 seconds upon initial power application, this lens-less proximity sensor is engineered for integration into automated lighting controls, security systems, and occupancy detection circuits requiring precise, localized infrared motion sensing.
