TOCON_ABC7, Photo Diode, Amplified, Broadband, SiC and UV, 1.8 µW/cm2 to 18 mW/cm2, 290 nm, 5 V, TO-5-3

TOCON_ABC7 is a broadband SiC based UV photodetector with integrated amplifier. This 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. A TOCON 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. The TOCON is produced as UV broadband sensors or with filters for selective measurement.
