PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
(@ 25°C unless otherwise noted)
A large area high sensitivity NPN silicon phototransistor in
a flat lensed, hermetically sealed, TO-46 package. The
hermetic package offers superior protection from hostile
environments. The base connection is brought out
allowing conventional transistor biasing. These devices
are spectrally matched to the VTE10xx series of IREDs.
