This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Particle, Dust Sensors category on DigiKey.com
Products in the dust sensor family are modular devices used to measure the amount of suspended particulate matter in the ambient air. Used for health and safety applications, clean room monitoring, and similar purposes, the available devices are varied in their sensitivity characteristics, particle classification capabilities, maintenance requirements, and similar details of operation.
SelectionCharacteristics
Type: Indicates the type of sensing technology employed.
Output Type: Indicates the type of electrical signal the device provides, such as I2C or UART.
Sensitivity: Typically, this would indicate the smallest particle detectable by the device. It also sometimes lists the change in output per detection.
Current - DC Forward (If) (Max): Typically this represents the maximum current to which a device will meet its given specifications. Exceeding this current may damage the device and/or other system components.
Voltage - Supply: Typically represented by a range, this indicates the low and high voltage limits that one can expect in standard operation. Voltages outside this range may damage the device and other system components.
Mounting Type: Indicates how the device is attached.
Operating Temperature: Recommended operating temperature, typically given in a range or as a maximum. Exceeding these temperatures may affect performance or damage the device and other system components.
Package / Case: Indicates the type of protective case used on an electronic component to allow easy handling, installation, and protection. This selection was determined to be the closest industry standard applicable to the supplier device packaging. Typically it is best to check the actual dimensions from the datasheet rather than depend on this terminology when designing your circuit.
