NMOS multichannel detector head
UV to near infrared range (200 to 1000 nm),
For multichannel spectrophotometry
C5964 series
www.hamamatsu.com 1
The C5964 series is a family of multichannel detectors developed for spectrophotometry in the UV to near infrared range (up to
1000 nm). The C5964 series device incorporates a thermoelectrically-cooled NMOS linear image sensor (S5930/S5931/S8382/
S8383 series), low noise driver/amplifi er circuit and highly stable temperature control circuit. It also operates from simple external
signal inputs. The image sensor is cooled to a preset temperature (Ts=0 °C) as soon as the power is turned on. Should the cooler
fail and the device overheat, the built-in protection circuit automatically shut off the power.
The housing is designed for compactness, yet offers good heart dissipation. Furthermore, mounting holes are provided on the
front panel of the housing, permitting easy connection to a monochromator or other instruments
