ams OSRAM Infrared Photodiode, Through Hole T-1 3/4 Package, ± 60° Sensitivity Angle, SFH 205 FA

ams OSRAM SFH 205 FA is a high-performance infrared photodiode designed for precise detection of infrared light in industrial, electronic, and instrumentation applications. Packaged in a classic Through Hole T-1 3/4 format, this photodiode features a side-looking PIN diode with a wide ± 60° angle of half sensitivity, making it suitable for variable insertion angles and optoelectronic systems.

The device exhibits peak optical sensitivity at 900 nm wavelength, covering a spectral detection range from 740 nm up to 1100 nm. Its fast response times of 20 ns rise and fall enable high-speed switching and accurate light measurement in electronic circuits.

Operating reliably across a temperature span from -40°C to +100°C, the SFH 205 FA is designed for robust performance in diverse environments. Its low dark current of 2 nA and short circuit current of 56 μA support efficient, low-noise detection.

With a breakdown voltage of 32 V and an open circuit voltage of 330 V, the photodiode sustains operational stability. The compact physical dimensions (6.9 mm height, 6.3 mm width, 5.1 mm length, 5 mm diameter) make it suitable for dense circuit designs, while through-hole mounting facilitates easy integration into PCBs.

The SFH 205 FA is RoHS compliant, adhering to environmental safety standards, and is ideal for applications in consumer electronics, industrial sensors, optical communication, and laboratory instrumentation.

This pack includes the infrared photodiode ready for tape and reel packaging optimized for volume production and automated machinery insertion.
