CLD171

Large Active Area

Silicon Planar photodiode

September, 2002

features

• 130° acceptance angle

• 860nm peak response

• 125°C operating temperature

• usable for visible through near-IR

description

The CLD171 and CLD171R, are

0.122" x 0.122" active area silicon

photodiodes featuring high linearity

and low dark current. They are

epoxy encapsulated for lower cost

applications. Wide acceptance

angle permits use in IR air

communications, ambient light

detection, safety and monitoring,

security systems, etc.
