The S16838-01MS is a silicon photodiode with a premolded plastic package designed to block stray light, optimized for visible-range illumination measurement. It has a photosensitive area of 2.8 × 2.4 mm, a spectral peak response at 560 nm, and a photosensitivity of 0.3 A/W at 560 nm under zero bias. Dark current is specified at 0.6 pA at 1 V reverse bias, with a temperature coefficient of −0.01 %/°C. The terminal capacitance is 700 pF at 0 V bias, and rise time is 2.5 μs with a 1 kΩ load. It operates within a temperature range of −10 to +60 °C and accepts a maximum reverse voltage of 10 V. The shunt resistance exceeds 100 GΩ at room temperature.
Low dark current, premolded packages
These are photodiodes that offer low dark current to measure low to high illumination with high accuracy. The premolded package is designed to block stray light from the side and back of the package to reaching the photosensitive area.
