IN DEVELOPMENT
MIPEX-1S [CH₄] is a compact NDIR sensor designed for measuring methane concentrations in portable and space-constrained gas detection devices. Its ultra-low power consumption of less than 0.2 mW ensures long-term autonomous operation, making it ideal for battery-powered industrial safety systems.
Features
MIPEX-1S [CH₄] is a miniature methane sensor based on NDIR technology, developed for portable detectors used in industrial safety. Thanks to its ultra-low power consumption (less than 0.2 mW) and compact design (19.9×19.9×10 mm), the sensor enables long-term autonomous operation in battery-powered devices.
With a wide supply voltage range of 2.7 to 5.0 V, MIPEX 1S provides flexible integration into various systems. Its smart microcontroller outputs stable, linearized readings over UART and compensates for temperature changes and environmental factors such as humidity and pressure.
