DESCRIPTION
The SMP900G-JQ is a Silicon P.I.N. photodiode
incorporated in a hermetic metal can package. The
package window has greater ultra-violet light transmission,
thus extending the useful spectral range of the device. The
electrical terminations are via two leads of diameter 0.018"
on pitch of 0.2". The cathode of the photodiode is
electrically connected to the package.

The larger photodiode active area provides greater
sensitivity than the SMP690 range of devices, with a
corresponding reduction in speed. The photodiode
structure has been optimised for high sensitivity, light
measurement applications across the infra-red to ultra-
violet spectrum. Inclusion of a suitable optical filter into the
package can produce a device that responds only to ultra-
violet light. The metal can and optional screening mesh
ensure a rugged device with a high degree of immunity to
radiated electrical interference.
