BPW24R Overview

Photodiodes are enclosed in Bulk to prevent damage. Photodiodes are packaged in Radial, Lensed Metal Can, TO-46-2 packages in order to ensure their safety. Continuous reverse-bias means the photodiodes can withstand only 60V voltage. When reverse-biased, the photodiodes should not continually exceed 60V. Photodiodes have pins 2. There is a possibility that photodiodes could release 210mW heat within a circuit. As a rule of thumb, when photodiodes are operating, the temperature should not exceed 125°C. The minimum operating temperature for the photodiodes, however, should be set to -40°C. A reverse anode voltage of 60V should be applied to the photodiodes. An ideal circuit would allow the photodiodes to release a maximum amount of heat in the form of 210mW heat. A reverse voltage 60V does not affect the photodiodes in the DC circuit. You need a breakdown voltage of 200V to make sure photodiodes work. There is 2nA current flowing through a photodiode even in the absence of light input.
