SMP1000G-KQ

The SMP1000G-KQ is a Silicon P.I.N. photodiode incorporated in a hermetic metal can package. The package window has greater ultra-violet light transmission, thus extending the useful spectral range of the SMP1000G-KQ. The electrical terminations are via two leads of diameter 0.018" on pitch centre diameter of 0.2". The photodiode is electrically isolated from the package, which has a separate earth lead.

The larger photodiode active area of SMP1000G-KQ provides greater sensitivity than the SMP900 range of devices, with a corresponding reduction in speed. The photodiode structure has been optimise for high sensitivity, light measurement applications across the infra-red to ultra-violet spectrum. Inclusion of a suitable optical filter into the package can produce a device that responds only to ultra-violet light. The metal can, isolated photodiode and optional screening mesh ensure a rugged device with a high degree of immunity to conducted and radiated electrical interference.
