BPW20RF IR-photodiode 920 nm TO-5

Silicon Photodiode, RoHS Compliant

Description BPW20RF is a planar Silicon PN photodiode in a hermetically sealed short TO-5 case, especially designed for high precision linear applications. Due to its extremely high dark resistance, the short circuit photocurrent is linear over seven decades of illumination level. On the other hand, there is a strictly logarithmic correlation between open circuit voltage and illumination over the same range. Equipped with a clear, flat glass window, the spectral responsitivity reaches from blue to near infrared.

Features - Power dissipation: 300mW - Package type: leaded - Package form: TO-5 - Dimensions (in mm): Ø 8.13 - Radiant sensitive area (in mm2): 7.5 - High photo sensitivity - High radiant sensitivity - Suitable for visible and near infrared radiation - Angle of half sensitivity: ? = ± 50° - Hermetically sealed package - Cathode connected to package - Flat glass window - UV enhanced - Low dark current - High shunt resistance - High linearity - Compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and in accordance with WEEE 2002/96/EC

Applications - Sensor for light measuring techniques in cameras, photometers, color analyzers, exposure meters (e.g. solariums) and other medical and industrial measuring and control applications.
