Opto Diode introduces IR surface-mount photodiode for medical diagnostics
Date Announced:01 Sep 2012
Opto Diode,a division of ITW,and a member of the ITW Photonics Group,announces the second in the series of surface mount photodiodes,the ODD-900-002.With high sensitivity and short switching time,the low capacitance photodiode is ideal for use in a variety of medical diagnostic applications.
The surface-mount packaging allows for easy and convenient integration into new or existing systems.The device operates in the spectral bandwidth from 400(min.)to 1100(max.)nm,with a peak sensitivity of 940 nm.Typical responsivity is at 0.44 A/W with typical reverse dark current at 5 nA and total capacitance,typically at 25 pF.
Robust and flexible,the ODD-900-002 operating temperatures range from-25 degrees C to+85 degrees C.The device can be stored at temperatures ranging from-40 degrees C to+85 degrees C for added convenience.Similar to the recently introduced ODD-900-001 Surface Mount Photodiode with Daylight Filter,the new ODD-900-002 photodiode's power dissipation is 150mW at(or below)25 degrees C(free air temperature).Both new devices also feature a soldering temperature of 260 degrees C(soldering time is 5 seconds,maximum).
Opto Diode's new surface mount photodiodes are available now and priced at$1.05 per 1000(minimum order of 1000).
