Vishay Silicon PIN Photodiode 710 to 1100 nm Spectral Range, ±60 ° Half Sensitivity Angle, Surface SMD Package K857PH

The Vishay K857PH Silicon PIN Photodiode is designed for precise light detection applications within the 710 to 1100 nm spectral range. Featuring an active detection area distributed across four quadrants, this photodiode provides enhanced accuracy in optical sensing and measurement tasks. Its compact surface-mount package (SMD) type with dimensions 4.72 x 4.72 x 0.75 mm facilitates easy incorporation into modern printed circuit boards.

Constructed using homogeneous semiconductor technology, the photodiode maintains uniform response characteristics. It operates reliably over a wide temperature range from -40°C to 110°C, making it suitable for harsh industrial and automotive environments. The device complies with the automotive standard AEC-Q101 and meets stringent requirements such as RoHS and MSL 3 for moisture sensitivity.

Its ±60° angle of half sensitivity is optimized for wide field detection, while the low dark current of 10 nA reduces noise and improves performance in low light conditions. Typical response times include a 3.9 μs rise time and 2.5 μs fall time, suitable for fast switching and signal processing applications. The photodiode is protected against electrostatic damage up to ±2000 V (HBM), ensuring durability during handling and assembly.

The packaging as tape and reel supports automated pick-and-place manufacturing processes, suitable for high-volume production. Applications include optical sensing, industrial measurement, automotive optical systems, and other electronics requiring reliable photodiode components.
