Excelitas Blue-Enhanced Silicon Photodiodes
PART/ VTB8441H

VTB8441H - Si PD, 8mm Ceramic, 5.16 mm2, Low Id

The VTB8441H is a blue-enhanced silicon photodiode in a 8 mm recessed ceramic package protected with a clear epoxy layer. This photodiode provides an enhanced response in the blue spectral range, as well as exhibits a very high shunt resistance and a low dark current.

The VTB8441H Blue-Enhanced Silicon Photodiode provides a 5.16 mm2 active area and a spectral response between 320 and 1100 nm. This series of P on N Silicon planar photodiodes has been designed for optimum response through the visible part of the spectrum.

Our blue-enhanced silicon photodiodes are primarily intended to be used in photovoltaic mode but may be used with a small reverse bias. They exhibit very high shunt resistance, a characteristic which leads to low offsets when used in high gain trans-impedance op-amp circuits.

Features & Benefits:

  • UV to Near IR spectral range
  • 1%-2% linearity over 7 to 9 decades
  • Very low dark current
  • Very high shunt resistance
  • RoHS compliant

Applications:

  • UV and blue light sensing
  • Light meters
  • Flame monitoring
  • Photometry
