BPW41 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Vishay BPW41 is a PIN photodiode designed for high-speed and high-sensitivity applications. It features a flat side view plastic package with an integrated IR filter, spectrally matched to GaAs or GaAs on GaAlAs IR emitters operating at 950 nm.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum reverse voltage of 32V and a reverse breakdown voltage of 60V. The photodiode has a fast fall time of 100ns and a maximum power dissipation of 215mW. Its capacitance is rated at 70pF.

 

This component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 100°C. The mounting type is PCB through-hole, making it suitable for various electronic assemblies. The radial package is designed for efficient light detection.

 

Applications for the BPW41 include optical sensing and detection systems where fast response and sensitivity to infrared light are critical. Its spectral matching to common IR emitters makes it a reliable choice for optocouplers, remote controls, and other infrared-based communication or sensing devices.
