Silicon PIN Photodiode
Description
BPW24R is a high sensitive silicon planar photodiode
in a standard TO–18 hermetically sealed metal case
with a glass lens.
A precise alignment of the chip gives a good coinci-
dence of mechanical and optical axes. The device
features a low capacitance and high speed even at low
supply voltages.
