SFH213 in OSRAM Photodiodes Family
The SFH213 series by ams OSRAM consists of high-speed silicon PIN photodiodes housed in standard 5mm (T1 3/4) clear plastic packages. These sensors are optimized for detecting visible and near-infrared radiation, featuring a spectral range of 400nm to 1100nm. Designed for reliability and fast switching times, the SFH213 is a staple for engineers requiring a cost-effective, discrete optical sensor that integrates easily into standard through-hole PCB designs for high-speed light detection and signal processing.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the SFH213 family are primarily distinguished by their spectral filtering and lead configurations. While the base SFH213 features a clear plastic package for broad sensitivity across the visible and IR spectrum, specialized versions like the SFH213FA include a daylight filter that blocks visible light, optimizing the sensor for 900nm infrared communication and reducing interference from ambient lighting sources.
