FPA Uncooled Infrared Detectors 400x300 Uncooled Vox Microbolometer
LWIR 400x300 / 17 μm VOx Uncooled Infrared Detector FPA Microbolometer
Product Overview
The Apex417W is a Wafer Level Packing (WLP) VOx uncooled focal plane array detector featuring 400x300 resolution with 17μm pixel size.
Wafer level packaging (WLP) represents the smallest, most cost-effective packaging solution. This process involves completing high vacuum packaging directly on the entire MEMS wafer, followed by scribing and cutting to produce individual infrared detectors. This streamlined manufacturing approach significantly reduces production time and costs.
The Apex417W uncooled LWIR infrared sensor finds applications across numerous fields including thermography, security monitoring, firefighting, autonomous driving, and personal vision systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between uncooled and cooled IR detectors?
The infrared thermal imaging market features two primary sensor types: cooled and uncooled.
Uncooled IR detectors operate at ambient temperature and leverage semiconductor manufacturing processes, enabling high-volume production with compact sizes and lower costs. These detectors are ideal for portable, handheld, and mobile applications.
Cooled IR detectors require cryogenic cooling systems to maintain extremely low temperatures. While they offer superior sensitivity and support long-range missions with extended focal length optics, they are significantly larger, more expensive, and less reliable due to their complex cooling requirements.
