BPW21R photo diode

Explanation

The BPW21R photo diode is a planar Silicon PN photodiode in a hermetically sealed short TO-5 case, which is especially designed for high precision linear applications. They are faster and more complex than normal PN junction diodes, hence their frequent use for lighting and optical communication. 

BPW21R Technical Specifications

The BPW21R photo diode has a package form: TO-5, Dimensions of 8.13 in mm), a radiant sensitive area (in mm2) of 7.5. As well as this, it boasts high photo sensitivity and is adapted to human eye responsivity. The product has an angle of half sensitivity of u03d5 = u00b1 50u00b0 as well as a hermetically sealed package, with cathode connected to the same package.

It also boasts a flat glass window, a low dark current, a high shunt resistance, high linearity and, in terms of reliability, it is compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and in accordance with WEEE 2002/96/EC. Therefore, you are not only getting a product of the highest quality, but also one of the highest safety standard as well. 

Other Notes

Due to its extremely high dark resistance, the short circuit photocurrent is linear over seven decades of illumination level. The device is equipped with a flat glass window with built in color correction filter, giving an approximation to the spectral response of the human eye.

Why You Need The BPW21R photo diode

The BPW21R photo diode is an excellent example of a photo diode that does everything that you require from such product.
