BPW21R Overview
To prevent damage, the photodiodes are packaged in a Bulk. To ensure safety, the photodiodes are packaged in Radial, Lensed Metal Can, 2 Lead packages. The maximum voltage that the photodiodes can tolerate in reverse-biased mode is 10V over a continuous period of time. The voltage for the photodiodes should not exceed 10V in reverse-bias mode on a continual basis. Photodiodes have pins 2. Within a circuit, photodiodes may emit heat 300mW. During the operation of photodiodes, the temperature should not exceed 125°C. However, the photodiodes should be operated at a minimum temperature of -40°C. It is recommended that the reverse anode voltage on the photodiodes be 10V. For a circuit, the maximum heat released by the photodiodes should be 300mW. In the DC circuit, the photodiodes can work properly with the reverse voltage of 10V. A photodiode should be able to conduct current at 1.3V voltage. Photodiodes should function properly if the breakdown voltage is 10V. The photodiode will operate at 2nA current even in the absence of light input.
