UVG100 SENSOR PHOTODIODE 254NM 10MM[FAQ]: Datasheet, Features, and Parameters

The "Mounting Type" in electronic components refers to the method used to attach or connect a component to a circuit board or other substrate, such as through-hole, surface-mount, or panel mount.

refers to the protective housing that encases an electronic component, providing mechanical support, electrical connections, and thermal management.

The operating temperature is the range of ambient temperature within which a power supply, or any other electrical equipment, operate in. This ranges from a minimum operating temperature, to a peak or maximum operating temperature, outside which, the power supply may fail.

Semiconductor package is a carrier / shell used to contain and cover one or more semiconductor components or integrated circuits. The material of the shell can be metal, plastic, glass or ceramic.

In electronic components, the "Series" refers to a group of products that share similar characteristics, designs, or functionalities, often produced by the same manufacturer. These components within a series typically have common specifications but may vary in terms of voltage, power, or packaging to meet different application needs. The series name helps identify and differentiate between various product lines within a manufacturer's catalog.

Parts can have many statuses as they progress through the configuration, analysis, review, and approval stages.

Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is a standardized rating that indicates the susceptibility of electronic components, particularly semiconductors, to moisture-induced damage during storage and the soldering process, defining the allowable exposure time to ambient conditions before they require special handling or baking to prevent failures

The Maximum Operating Temperature is the maximum body temperature at which the thermistor is designed to operate for extended periods of time with acceptable stability of its electrical characteristics.

The "Min Operating Temperature" parameter in electronic components refers to the lowest temperature at which the component is designed to operate effectively and reliably. This parameter is crucial for ensuring the proper functioning and longevity of the component, as operating below this temperature may lead to performance issues or even damage. Manufacturers specify the minimum operating temperature to provide guidance to users on the environmental conditions in which the component can safely operate. It is important to adhere to this parameter to prevent malfunctions and ensure the overall reliability of the electronic system.

the time taken for a circuit or measuring device, when subjected to a change in input signal, to change its state by a specified fraction of its total response to that change.

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max) is a parameter in electronic components that specifies the maximum reverse voltage that the component can withstand without breaking down. This parameter is crucial for components like diodes and transistors that are often subjected to reverse voltage during operation. Exceeding the maximum reverse voltage can lead to the component failing or getting damaged. Designers need to consider this parameter when selecting components to ensure the reliability and longevity of their circuits.

Max Reverse Voltage (DC) refers to the maximum voltage that a semiconductor device, such as a diode, can withstand in the reverse bias direction without failing. Exceeding this voltage can lead to breakdown and potential damage to the component. It is a critical parameter in circuit design to ensure reliability and prevent failure when the device is subjected to reverse voltage conditions.

Active Area in electronic components refers to the specific region where active functions occur within a device, such as a semiconductor. This area is critical for the operation of the component, often containing the elements responsible for amplification, switching, or signal processing. The size and characteristics of the Active Area can greatly influence the performance, efficiency, and power handling of the electronic component. It is a key parameter in the design and evaluation of integrated circuits and other electronic devices.

Responsivity @ nm is a parameter used to describe the sensitivity of an electronic component, such as a photodetector or sensor, to light at a specific wavelength (nm represents nanometers, a unit of measurement for wavelength). It indicates how efficiently the component converts incident light at that particular wavelength into an electrical signal. A higher responsivity value at a specific wavelength indicates that the component is more sensitive to light at that wavelength. Understanding the responsivity at different wavelengths is crucial for selecting the right component for applications where specific wavelengths of light need to be detected or measured accurately.

RoHS means “Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances” in the “Hazardous Substances Directive” in electrical and electronic equipment.
