TOCON_ABC1, Photo Diode, Amplified, Broadband, SiC and UV, 1.8 pW/cm2 to 18 nW/cm2, 280 nm, 5 V, TO-5-3

TOCON_ABC1 is a broadband SiC-based UV photodetector with an integrated amplifier. It is a UV photodetector with integrated amplifier converting UV radiation into a voltage. The Vout pin of the TOCON can be directly connected to a controller, a voltmeter or any other data analysing device with voltage input. Modern electronic components and a hermetically sealed metal housing with UV glass window eliminate noise caused by parasitic paths inside the package and EMI. It is a perfect solution for each industrial UV sensing application starting from flame or fire detection at pW/cm2 level up to UV curing lamp control at W/cm² level. This thirteen orders of magnitude measurement range is covered by ten different TOCONs that differ by their sensitivity. It is produced as UV broadband sensors or with filters for selective measurement. Applications includes very low UV radiation, flame detection.
