It is important to note that these photodiodes are packaged in Bulk to prevent damage. To ensure safety, the photodiodes are packaged in 2-SMD, Gull Wing packages. Continually operating in reverse-bias mode, a photodiode's maximum voltage is 32V. When reverse-biased, the photodiodes should not continually exceed 32V. Despite the absence of light, photodiodes make 5nA current.
