Vishay Infrared PIN Photodiode Through Hole Top View ± 65° Angle Sensitivity BP104

The Vishay BP104 infrared PIN photodiode is specially designed for industrial and electronic applications requiring reliable, high speed infrared detection with sensitivity centered around a wavelength of 950 nm. This device features a through hole top view mounting in a compact flat plastic package with dimensions of 5.4 mm length, 4.3 mm width, and 3.2 mm height, including a daylight filter which enhances IR signal clarity.

This photodiode offers a radiant sensitive area of 7.5 mm², supporting effective IR energy collection over a wide angle of half sensitivity at ± 65°. It operates efficiently within the wide wavelength range from 870 nm to 1050 nm, enabling its use in remote controls, air data transmission systems, and other high-speed IR detection scenarios.

Designed for operation over extended temperature conditions from -40°C up to 100°C, the BP104 maintains rapid response times with typical rise and fall times at 100 ns each, facilitating fast communication and sensing performance.

Electrical characteristics include a typical open circuit voltage of 350 mV and breakdown voltage rated at 60 V under forward polarity. The short circuit current is rated at 38 µA, suitable for integration with accompanying IR emitter devices, notably Vishay's TSAL series. The device ensures compliance with international environmental directives RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC.

The BP104’s miniature, daylight filtered, top view package facilitates easy incorporation into electronic assemblies requiring through hole mounting, making it favored in a variety of electronic components and optoelectronics industries, including automotive, telecommunications, and consumer electronics.
