Description
BPV21F(L) is a high speed and high sensitive PIN photodiode in a plasic package with a cylindrical side view lens. The epoxy package itself is an IR filter, spectrally matched to GaAs or GaAs/GaAlAs IR emitters (λ p = 950 nm).
Lens radius and chip position are perfectly matched to the chip size, giving high sensitivity without compromising the viewing angle.
In comparison with flat packages the cylindrical lens package achieves a sensitivity improvement of 20 %.

FEATUREs
• Large radiant sensitive area (A = 5.7 mm2)
• Wide viewing angle ϕ = ± 65°
• Fast response times
• Low junction capacitance
• TO-92 plastic package with IR filter
• Filter designed for 950 nm transmission
• Option "L" long lead package optional available with suffix "L"; e.g.: BPV23FL
• Lead (Pb)-free component
• Component in accordance to RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC

APPLICATIONs
   Infrared remote control and free air transmission systems in combination with IR emitter diodes (TSU...- or TSI...-Series).
