GaAs PIN Photodiode in TO-46 Package for 850 nm Emitter

Model No. PDT-A85A30

FEATURES: • Industry standard TO-46 package with cap lens. • Optimized for fiber optic application. • High coupling efficiency to multi-mode fibers directly. • Low dark current and low capacitance. • Bandwidth > 1.5 GHz.

ELECTRO-OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

PARAMETERS	SYMBOL	MIN	TYP	MAX	UNIT	TEST CONDITIONS
Responsivity (1)	R	-	0.3	0.4	A/W	VR=5V, l = 850 nm
Forward Current	IF	100	-	-	mA	VF=1V
Dark Current	ID	-	1	2	nA	VR=5V
Breakdown Voltage	VBD	-	85	-	V	IR=10mA
Capacitance (2)	C	-	1.2	1.5	pF	VR=5V, f=1 MHz

Notes:
1. The responsivity is measured with a receptacle package, using an 850 nm VCSEL as 
the optical light source to the 50/125 or 62.5/125 mm multi-mode fibers.
2. Sensitive area is typical 120mm in diameter.
