Vishay Telefunken BPW43 Datasheet

Silicon PIN Photodiode

Description

BPW43 is a very high speed PIN photodiode in a stan­dard T–1¾ plastic package. Due to its waterclear
epoxy the device is sensitive to visible and infrared
radiation.
It features low capacitance and high speed even at low
supply voltages.
