Photodiodes are enclosed in Tape & Reel (TR) to prevent damage. Photodiodes are packaged in 2-SMD, Gull Wing packages in order to ensure their safety. When reverse-biased, the photodiodes should not continually exceed 60V. Photodiodes have pins 2. There is a possibility that photodiodes could release 215mW heat within a circuit. 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 215mW heat. A reverse voltage 60V does not affect the photodiodes in the DC circuit. Getting current to flow across a photodiode requires the voltage 1V. You need a breakdown voltage of 32V to make sure photodiodes work. There is 1nA current flowing through a photodiode even in the absence of light input.
