Mini sensor modules aid color measurement

Joining the JenColour line of OEM color sensor modules from MAZeT are two devices that can be used for general color measurement and light detection, consumer appliances, portable color detectors/readers, RGB LCD backlight monitors, and RGB power LED regulation.
The MTCS-TIAM1 color sensor board with optical shutter is based on the MTCSiCS true-color sensor IC and also integrates a programmable transimpedance amplifier using compact chip-on-board technology. In addition, the board can be configured with two optional white-light LEDs for illumination. The board's optical channel (receiver and LEDs) is provided with a mechanical aperture to comply with the 10° measuring geometry requirements of DIN5033. The MTCS-TIAM1's integrated components and construction form a complete sensor head for direct installation in measurement and control equipment. Package dimensions including the shutter are just 19.5x9.0x5.0 mm.
The MTCS-TIAM2 also employs the MTCSiCS true-color sensor and signal amplifier, housed in a plastic package with or without a shutter. Package dimensions are 6.5x6.0x5.0 mm with a shutter and 6.5x1.5x5.0 mm without a shutter.
