BPW85A Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Vishay BPW85A is a silicon NPN phototransistor designed for use in electronic control and drive circuits. It features high radiant sensitivity and is suitable for detecting visible and near infrared radiation. The component is housed in a clear T-1 plastic package with a diameter of 3 mm.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a collector emitter voltage of up to 70V and a collector current of up to 50mA. The phototransistor exhibits a fast response time and an angle of half sensitivity of ±25°. Its peak sensitivity wavelength is 850 nm, with a spectral band ranging from 450 to 1080 nm. The operating temperature range is from -40°C to +100°C.

 

This phototransistor is designed for through-hole mounting. The absolute maximum ratings specify a power dissipation of 100mW at ambient temperatures up to 55°C and a junction temperature of 100°C. The storage temperature range is also -40°C to +100°C.
