Sensor accurately measures CO2 levels

Mouser now stocks the PASCO2V15 XENSIV PAS CO2 5V Sensor from Infineon Technologies. The sensor uses photoacoustic spectroscopy to measure CO2 levels accurately. The sensor helps attain optimal indoor air quality when integrated into HVAC systems, smart home and building devices, and smart agriculture.

The sensor consistently provides high-quality data and meets the WELL building standard performance requirements. Delivered in a 14mm x 13.8mm x 7.5mm3 module, the sensor is four times smaller and three times lighter than NDIR equivalents. The miniature size is excellent for air purifiers, thermostats, and other smart home and IoT devices. The SMD package, in tape and reel format, simplifies assembly in high-speed, high-volume manufacturing.

The PASCO2V15 XENSIV PAS CO2 Sensor includes a dedicated MCU to run advanced compensation algorithms and supply accurate readings: ±50ppm ±5% between 400ppm and 3,000ppm. The sensor is dust-resistant and maintenance-free for convenient long-term monitoring. Three interface options are available: UART, I2C, and PWM. The sensor enhances comfort and energy efficiency while lowering utility costs.
