Hi,

Is the 10deg version ever likely to come back in stock or is there a replacement coming?

I have a wide angle version, do you think putting a shroud around it would reduce the fov?

many thanks

Lee

    As of right now there are no plans of bringing back the MLX90614 Infrared Thermometer. However, the 10 degree version is the same as the 90 degree only with a shroud on it.

    Does anyone know which material is the extra housing of the smaller Field of View sensors.

    The 35 deg FOV sensors have an extra housing on top of the 90 deg FOV, but i simply cannot find what it is made of.

    Thanks

    @pnu, My research is suggesting that shrouding the sensor will not give the required result. All of the IR thermometers that I can find that do 8:1 or better use a lens. I am thinking about just buying a cheap IR Thermometer and pulling the lens out.
