SCA-005C

Silicon PIN Photodiode

Data Sheet

Description

The SCA-005C is a high sensitive silicon PIN photodiode for

use in low light applications across the spectral range of

320nm to 1100 nm.

This N-type photodiode offers high speed, low capacitance,

and high breakdown voltage characteristics.

The standard version of model SCA-005C is housed in a

hermetically sealed 2 pin TO-5 metal case. It is also available

in custom packages and in chip form for hybrid circuit boards.

This device is capable of meeting MIL-PRF-19500

requirements for environmental integrity and reliability.
