Hamamatsu Photonics Visible Light Photodiode, Through Hole TO-5 Package, 65° Half Sensitivity Angle S13948-01SB

Hamamatsu Photonics S13948-01SB is a high-performance visible light photodiode designed for industrial and electronic applications requiring sensitivity close to human eye perception. The photodiode detects visible light spectrum with a peak sensitivity wavelength of 560nm, ranging from 300nm to 820nm. It is housed in a TO-5 package and features a through hole mount providing ease of installation in various PCB layouts.

Equipped with two photosensitive regions on a single chip, the device effectively filters out non-visible wavelengths to ensure precise light measurement. The internal current amplifier circuit minimizes output fluctuations caused by different light source colour temperatures, resulting in highly stable readings.

The S13948-01SB operates reliably within -25°C to 85°C temperature limits and offers a typical rise time of 6ms and fall time of 2.5ms. Its compact dimensions of 8.2mm length, 5mm diameter, and 3.5mm height facilitate integration into compact instrumentation.

Its characteristics include a breakdown voltage of 30V and an open circuit voltage of 12V with forward polarity operation. The photodiode exhibits a short circuit current of 5mA and an ultra-low dark current of 0.5nA, making it suitable for sensitive light detection tasks.

This product complies with RoHS standards ensuring environmental safety. It is ideal for applications in electronic equipment, laboratory instruments, and light measurement devices in industrial and research environments. The photodiode's packaging in tape and reel format supports automated assembly processes.

Photo IC yields spectral response close to human eye sensitivity for visible light detection. Two photo areas on chip enhance measurement accuracy by filtering non-visible light. Low output current fluctuations provide consistent measurements across varying illuminance levels.

Compact TO-5 plastic package with metal shape ensures mechanical robustness. Temperature tolerance from -25°C to 85°C enables versatile application use. Fast response times with 6ms typical rise and 2.5ms fall time enhance dynamic measurements.

Compliant with RoHS for environmentally responsible usage. Suitable for electronic, industrial, and laboratory light measurement systems. Forward polarity operation with low dark current and high breakdown voltage.
