NSL-4960 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Advanced Photonix NSL-4960 is a CdS photocell designed for visible light measurement, offering sensitivity in the 400 to 700 nm range. Its resistance decreases as light levels increase, providing characteristics similar to the human eye. This light-dependent resistor (LDR) is housed in a hermetically sealed TO-8 package, suitable for through-hole mounting.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum voltage rating of 150V and a power dissipation of 500mW. The resistance varies significantly with illumination, from a minimum of 1 MΩ in dark conditions (5 seconds after light removal) to a typical of 17 kΩ at 1 ftc and 500 kΩ at 100 ftc. The spectral application range is centered around 550 nm.

 

Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +75°C, with storage temperatures from -55°C to +75°C. The NSL-4960 is designed for applications such as industrial controls, night lights, photography light meters, and solar street lights where light-dependent resistance is required.
