PbS Room Temperature Detectors

Product information "PbS Room Temperature Detectors"

Peak Wavelength Response 2.2, 2.5 µm; Active Area 0.25-10 mm²; Time Constant <100->300 µs; Resistance 0.2-10 MΩ; Typ. Bias Voltage 10-500 VDC

New England Photoconductor’s range of lead sulfide (PbS) plate cells series for room temperature applications is available as “open” A, B, and C detectors, as well as hermetically sealed (AM, BM, CM). These detectors in TO-3, TO-5, TO-8, and TO-46 packages feature standard size active areas ranging from 0.25 mm² to 10 mm² – special sizes are available upon request. C Series components can be gridded for low resistance. The PbS room temperature detectors can be supplied with or without leads.
