TEMD5100 is a high speed and high sensitive PIN photodiode in a miniature flat plastic package. Its top view construction makes it ideal as a low cost replace- ment of TO–5 devices in many applications. The epoxy package itself is an IR filter, spectrally matched to GaAs or GaAs on GaAlAs IR emitters (λp=950nm). The large active area combined with a flat case gives a high sensitivity at a wide viewing angle.
The TEMD5100 PIN photodiode from Vishay features a miniature flat plastic package with an integrated infrared filter matched to 950 nm emitters. Its large active area and wide‑angle design provide high sensitivity over a broad viewing angle, making it a low‑cost alternative to TO‑5 devices.
The datasheet includes electrical characteristics such as reverse voltage, dark current, capacitance, rise/fall times, and spectral response, as well as mechanical dimensions and environmental ratings. It also contains Vishay’s ozone‑depleting substances policy for compliance information.
