DESCRIPTION
• UV enhanced
BPW20RF is a planar Silicon PN photodiode in a
hermetically sealed short TO-5 case, especially designed for
high precision linear applications.
• Low dark current
• High shunt resistance
• High linearity
Due to its extremely high dark resistance, the short circuit
photocurrent is linear over seven decades of illumination
level.
• Compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and in
accordance with WEEE 2002/96/EC
On the other hand, there is a strictly logarithmic correlation
between open circuit voltage and illumination over the same
range.
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.
Equipped with a clear, flat glass window, the spectral
responsitivity reaches from blue to near infrared.
