P.I.N. PHOTODIODE

DESCRIPTION

The SMP600G-FN is a Silicon P.I.N. photodiode

incorporated in a lensed, hermetic metal can package. The

electrical terminations are via two leads of diameter 0.018"

on a pitch centre diameter of 0.2". The photodiode is

electrically isolated from the package, which has a

separate earth lead.

The larger photodiode active area provides greater

sensitivity than the SMP550 range of devices, with a slight

reduction in speed. Inherent in the device geometry is a

wide receiving angle. The photodiode structure has been

optimised for high sensitivity, light measurement

applications. The narrow viewing angles provide better

coupling to on-axis illumination sources. The metal can,

isolated photodiode and optional screening mesh ensure a

rugged device with a high degree of immunity to conducted

and radiated electrical interference.
