Vishay Intertechnology Inc. (Malvern, PA) announced the release of four PIN photodiodes to its TEMD5xxx line that offer best-in-class sensitivity in a new miniature surface-mount package measuring 4.24 mm x 5.0 mm with a 1.12 mm height profile. Suitable for a broad range of applications in the industrial, automotive and medical markets, the devices will be used for high-speed data transfer, light barriers, alarm systems, linear light measurement, glucose meters, automotive sensors, smoke detectors and electronic toll systems.
The new additions combine high-speed response, enabled by optional daylight filtering and a choice of two large radiant-sensitive areas measuring 7.5 mm² and 5.7 mm². The TEMD5010 and TEMD5020 provide visible-light sensitivity ranging from 400 nm to 1100 nm. With integrated daylight filters and a peak sensitivity of 850 nm, the TEMD5110 and TEMD5120 are more suitable for detecting infrared light. All four of the devices feature a wide ±65° angle of half-sensitivity and fast 100 ns typical response time.
The devices are packaged in lead-free constructions in accordance with ELV 2000/53/EC, RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC. Samples and production quantities of the new PIN photodiodes are available now with lead times of six weeks for larger orders. Pricing for US delivery in 50,000-piece quantities starts at $51.00 per 100 pieces.
