Replacement for Discontinued Hamamatsu PbS & PbSe
Discontinued Hamamatsu TEC cooled PbS and PbSe detectors can now be replaced with detectors from trinamiX. With their equal or better performance trinamiX detectors provide the familiar pin configuration with additional robustness and customization possibilities. These provide a direct drop-in replacement for the discontinued Hamamatsu thermoelectrically cooled PbS detectors (P2532, P2682) and thermoelectrically cooled PbSe detectors (P2038, P2680, P9696).
Single Pixel Evaluation Kit
The evaluation kit enables users to easily compare different varieties of the trinamiX detectors and to quickly develop circuit designs for their applications.
- 2 input channels
