Description
The Silonex series of silicon solderable planar
photodiodes feature low cost, high reliability, and
linear short circuit current over a wide range of
illumination. These devices are widely used for light
sensing and power generation because of their
stability and high efficiency. They are particularly
suited to power conversion applications due to their
low internal impedance and relatively high shunt
impedance, stability, and humidity characteristics.
These devices also provide a reliable, inexpensive
detector for applications such as light beam sensing
and instrumentation. The electrical characteristics
below are per element. In the multielement arrays
the cathodes are common to a single cathode wire.
