About this manual

The C5331 series APD modules from Hamamatsu provide high‑sensitivity detection with a compact, business‑card‑size board that operates from a single 5 V supply. The modules include a low‑noise current‑to‑voltage amplifier and a temperature‑compensated bias circuit that keeps gain stable across ambient temperatures.

The series offers eleven APD types with active areas from 0.2 mm to 5 mm, various wavelength options, and optional FC or SMA adapters. Electrical ratings, dimensional outlines, and connector options are detailed for each variant, along with safety notes for high‑voltage handling.
