These are Si photodiodes molded into clear plastic packages. Two types are available with sensitivity in the visible range and in
the visible to near IR range. Two active areas of 1.3 × 1.3 mm and 2.4 × 2.8 mm are also available.
The S5493-01 and S5627-01 provide a spectral response characteristic similar to the visible range sensitivity without using visual-
compensated lters.
