BPW34
Vishay Telefunken
Silicon PIN Photodiode
Description
The BPW34 is a high speed and high sensitive PIN
photodiode in a miniature flat plastic package. Its top
view construction makes it ideal as a low cost replace-
ment of TO–5 devices in many applications.
Due to its waterclear epoxy the device is sensitive to
visible and infrared radiation. The large active area
combined with a flat case gives a high sensitivity at a
wide viewing angle.
