The CLD240 series are new, direct replacements for the older CLD140 series and feature larger (0.060
The Clairex CLD240 series consists of upgraded direct replacements for the older CLD140 series. These devices feature a larger 0.060" x 0.060" active area silicon PIN photodiode chip, offering faster switching and lower junction capacitance compared to their predecessors.
The series is available in three different lensing options (CLD240, CLD240E, and CLD240W) designed to satisfy various application requirements. The components utilize a TO-46 header with the cathode connected to the case.
| Active Area | 0.060" x 0.060" |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage | 60V |
| Junction Capacitance (Typical) | 14 pF |
| Output Rise and Fall Time (Typical) | 15 ns |
| Short-circuit Current (CLD240 Typ) | 30 µA |
| Total Angle at Half Sensitivity (CLD240E) | 80 deg. |
The storage and operating temperature range for CLD240 and CLD240W is -65°C to +150°C.
The CLD240 replaces CLD142 and CLD142R; CLD240E replaces CLD140; CLD240W replaces CLD141 and CLD141R.
