These photodiodes are packaged in the Bulk to protect them from damage. The photodiodes are put into Chip with 30 Gauge PVC Wire packages for safety protection. In reverse-bias mode on a continual basis, the maximum amount of voltage the photodiodes can withstand is 25V. The voltage for the photodiodes should not exceed 25V in reverse-bias mode on a continual basis. Even in the absence of light input, a photodiode occurs 6nA current.
