It can detect both visible light and near-infrared radiation, making it suitable for light measurement, optical switching, infrared sensing and communication projects.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike an LED, the BPW34 does not produce light. It receives light and generates a photocurrent whose level changes with the intensity of the detected radiation. This signal can be measured using a resistor, operational amplifier, transimpedance amplifier or compatible analog-input circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BPW34 has a broad spectral response from approximately \u003cstrong\u003e430nm to 1100nm\u003c\/strong\u003e, with peak sensitivity near \u003cstrong\u003e900nm\u003c\/strong\u003e. This allows it to respond to daylight, visible lamps and common near-infrared sources, including many IR LEDs and remote-control transmitters. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts relatively large light-sensitive area, low dark current and fast response make it useful for optical counters, beam-break detectors, light meters, IR communication receivers, smoke-detection experiments, pulse sensing and educational electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe component is supplied in a compact transparent through-hole package with two leads. Because it is a polarized semiconductor device, the anode and cathode must be connected correctly. The exact lead orientation should be confirmed using the manufacturer’s datasheet or by testing before soldering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisible-light detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInfrared-light detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIR receiver circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight-intensity measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical beam-break sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eObject counters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncoder and rotation sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote-control signal experiments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePulse and heartbeat-sensing projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoke-detector experiments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaser detection projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArduino light-sensor circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEducational electronics projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × BPW34 PIN Photodiode\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MAJESTRONICZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48091055259806,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/9257\/2574\/files\/download_54.avif?v=1786020489","url":"https:\/\/majestronicz.in\/products\/bpw34-silicon-pin-photodiode-high-speed-visible-and-infrared-light-sensor-through-hole","provider":"MAJESTRONICZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
