CAMARILLO, Calif. - March 30, 2017 - Opto Diode Corporation, an ITW company, introduces the NXIR-5C, a red to near-infrared (NIR) enhanced photodiode with a circular active area of 5 mm2. With a spectral response from 320 nm to 1100 nm, the rugged photodiode is housed in a custom 4.7 mm x 4.9 mm ceramic carrier surface-mount device (SMD) package. The new SMD joins the company’s popular NXIR family of products that is optimized for the near-infrared spectrum.
The NXIR-5C provides superior responsivity with low reverse bias and high sensitivity at 0.62 A/W @ 850 nm and 0.35 A/W at 1064 nm. It has low dark current at 1nA, low capacitance of 5 pico-farads (pF) at 10 volts, and high shunt resistance greater than 100 MΩ.
The NIR-enhanced detector is specially designed for laser monitoring, medical diagnostic equipment, industrial automation, scientific measurement, and military applications which require a wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C. The robust package features an AR-coated window that provides greater than 98% transmission. The SMD is compliant with RoHS and REACH standards and is available on tape and reel.
To learn more about the company’s expanding NXIR family of products that allows designers to meet challenging photonic requirements, including reducing space and cost, or to get volume pricing quotes, please contact sales@optodiode.com.
