Description:
The BPW34 is a high-speed silicon PIN photodiode designed for precision light detection across visible and infrared spectra. It offers a large active area and fast response, making it ideal for optical sensing, light measurement, and communication applications in STEM and electronics projects.

Specifications:

  • Type: Silicon PIN Photodiode
  • Spectral Response: 400 nm – 1100 nm (Visible to IR)
  • Peak Sensitivity: ~900 nm
  • Active Area: ~7.5 mm²
  • Operating Voltage: Reverse bias typically 5V – 60V
  • Output Type: Current (proportional to light intensity)
  • Response Time: Fast (nanoseconds to microseconds)
  • Package: Through-hole (clear epoxy)
  • Mounting: Through-hole
  • Viewing Angle: Wide (~65°)
  • Converts light into electrical current

Features:

  • Large active area for better light capture
  • High sensitivity and linear response
  • Fast switching speed
  • Low capacitance
  • Reliable and widely used

Applications:

  • Light intensity measurement
  • IR detection
  • Optical communication
  • Line follower and robotics
  • Pulse detection systems

Polarity Identification:

  • Anode → Short lead
  • Cathode → Long lead / flat edge

Important Note:

  • Best used in reverse bias for speed and linearity
  • Output current is very small – requires amplification
  • Shield from ambient light for precise measurements
  • Use proper signal conditioning circuits

Package Includes:

  • 1 × BPW34 Photodiode
