Vishay ±20° Infrared Phototransistor Through Hole 2-Pin 5 mm (T-1 3/4) Package BPW96B

Vishay BPW96B is a high-performance infrared phototransistor designed for precise electronic detection applications. It comes in a clear 5 mm (T-1 3/4) through-hole package equipped with two pins for straightforward PCB integration.

The device exhibits a ±20° angle of half sensitivity and operates efficiently at a wavelength peak of 850 nm, making it ideal for infrared sensing needs. Its fast switching characteristics with a typical rise time of 2µs and fall time of 2.3µs enable rapid response in sensing circuits.

The BPW96B supports a maximum collector current of 50 mA and can handle collector emitter voltages up to 70 V, ensuring reliability even under demanding electronic control and drive circuits. The maximum dark current is minimal at 200 nA and light current peaks at 7500 µA, supporting high sensitivity in low-light conditions.

Operating in a wide temperature range from -40°C to 100°C and packaged in a RoHS-compliant clear plastic lens, it is suitable for industrial, electronic control, and optical detection applications. The compact form factor with dimensions 5 mm diameter, 8.6 mm height, and 35.3 mm length provides easy accommodation in space-constrained PCB layouts.

Manufactured in the Philippines, this phototransistor is built to meet quality and environmental standards. Its clear plastic packaging and through-hole mount type make it compatible with standard assembly processes. Common applications include infrared sensors for electronic controls, automation systems, and signal detection in various industrial environments.
