Products details

The family is composed of five types of sensors sorted by their time of launch:

  • • MLX90421 and MLX90422, which have been released in Jun-2021 already (PR)
  • • MLX90425 and MLX90426 as new products available
  • • MLX90423 as a pre-announcement

 

 

At this moment, the following versions will be available for sample order with a lead time of 14 days:

  • • MLX90425-GDC-ABA-600-SP
  • • MLX90425-GVE-ABA-600-SP
  • • MLX90426-GDC-ACB-630-SP
  • • MLX90426-GVE-ACB-630-SP
