thermal sensors
Temperature measuring devices
Thermal sensors are devices that detect and measure temperature or heat radiation.
They convert thermal energy into electrical signals, enabling temperature monitoring in everything from household thermostats to industrial equipment.
Infrared thermal sensors detect heat signatures without physical contact, used in night-vision cameras, motion detectors, and medical thermometers: The thermal sensors triggered the automatic doors.
