Silicon Phototransistor
SDP8436
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
Side-looking plastic package
18¡ (nominal) acceptance angle
Enhanced coupling distance
Internal visible light rejection filter
Low profile for design flexibility
Wide sensitivity ranges
Mechanically matched to SEP8736 infrared
emitting diode
The SDP8436 is an NPN silicon phototransistor molded
in a black plastic package which combines the mounting
advantages of a side-looking package with the narrow
acceptance angle and high optical gain of a T-1
package. The SDP8436 is designed for those
applications which require longer coupling distances
than standard side-looking devices can provide, such
as touch screens. The device is also well suited to
applications in which adjacent channel crosstalk could
be a problem. The package is highly transmissive to the
IR source energy while it provides effective shielding
against visible ambient light.
