OSI Optoelectronics, PIN-5DPI IR Si Photodiode, Through Hole TO-5

These photodiodes are not designed to be reverse biased, applying a reverse bias of more than a few volts (>3V) will permanently damage them. OSI Photovaltic Series Photodiodes. The Photovoltaic series, from OSI Optoelectronics, are planar diffused silicon photodiodes. These general purpose photodiodes are ideal for applications which require high sensitivity and moderate response speeds. Their spectral response range (350-1100nm) make the regular Photovoltaic series suitable for visible and IR applications. The Photovoltaic series offer high shunt resistance and low noise. They also show long term stability. Suitable applications for the Photovoltaic series, include; colorimeters, photometers, spectroscopy equipment and fluorescence.. Features of the Photovoltaic series: Ultra low noise High shunt resistance Wide dynamic Blue enhanced
