Vishay Phototransistor Through Hole 3 mm (T-1) Package, Visible Light and Infrared, 50 ° Angle BPW85A

Vishay BPW85A is a silicon NPN phototransistor designed for detecting visible and near-infrared radiation. Packaged in a clear 3 mm (T-1) through-hole mounted configuration, it facilitates easy integration into electronic assemblies. The device offers high photo and radiant sensitivity with fast switching times, making it ideal for detectors within electronic control and drive circuits.

The BPW85A phototransistor can reliably operate in harsh environments with a temperature range from -40 °C to +100 °C, and withstands collector-emitter voltages up to 70 V. It is a single-channel device with a maximum dark current of 200 nA and a collector current rating of 50 mA, ensuring precise light detection performance.

Key mechanical dimensions include a diameter of 3 mm, length and width of 3.4 mm each, and height of 4.5 mm, suitable for compact circuit designs. The device also features a 50 ° half sensitivity angle, providing a balanced field of detection with quick response times of 2 μs rise and 2.3 μs fall times.

This phototransistor is well suited for use in industrial, laboratory, electronic control, and manufacturing applications where accurate light sensing in the visible and near-infrared spectrum is required.
