P.I.N. PHOTODIODE
DESCRIPTION
The SMP550G-EJ is a Silicon P.I.N. photodiode
incorporated in a hermetic metal can package. The
electrical terminations are via two leads of diameter 0.018"
on a pitch of 0.2". The can structure permits a wide range
of optical filter options. The cathode of the photodiode is
electrically connected to the package.
The larger photodiode active area provides greater
sensitivity than the SMP400 range of devices, with a
corresponding reduction in speed. The photodiode
structure has been optimised for high sensitivity, light
measurement applications. The metal can and optional
screening mesh ensure a rugged device with a high
degree of immunity to radiated electrical interference.
