Vishay Photodiode Visible Light Infrared, 65 ° Angle, Through Hole TO-5 Package BPW20RF

Vishay BPW20RF is a visible light and infrared photodiode packaged in a sealed TO-5 through hole package, measuring 9.1 mm in length and width, with a diameter of 5 mm and height of 3.1 mm. It features an angle of half sensitivity of 65°, making it suitable for precise light sensing applications.

This photodiode operates within a spectral range of 400 nm to 1100 nm, peaking at 920 nm, and is designed for fast detection with typical rise and fall times of 80 ns. It maintains low dark current values at 2 nA and supports a short circuit current of 50 μA under illumination.

BPW20RF can operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 100°C and is not amplified, operating with forward polarity. Its package complies with RoHS standards and is supplied in tape and reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.

This device is optimally used in industrial, laboratory, medical, and manufacturing applications such as cameras, photometers, colour analyzers, and exposure meters requiring accurate and sensitive light measurement.

Constructed with a hermetically sealed TO-5 package for reliable operation and longevity. High photosensitivity due to the 7.5 mm² radiant sensitive area. Wide spectral detection range covers both visible and infrared wavelengths.

Fast response times enable high precision linear applications. Low dark current enhances signal-to-noise ratio in measurements. Durable operation across a broad temperature range. Compliance with environmental standards ensures user safety and sustainability.

Tape and reel packaging ensures compatibility with automated production lines. BPW20RF offers high performance for optoelectronic sensing in demanding industrial machines, laboratory instruments, and automated manufacturing environments.
