ams OSRAM SFH 2401 High-Speed Silicon PIN Photodiode for Precision Detection

Product Details

OSRAM SFH 2401: High-Speed Silicon PIN Photodiode for Precision Detection. The ams OSRAM SFH 2401 is a high-performance silicon PIN photodiode engineered for applications requiring extremely short switching times and broad spectral sensitivity. Packaged in a specialized "Sidelooker" clear resin format, the SFH 2401 is optimized for surface-mount PCB layouts where side-view detection is a mechanical necessity.

For LED module manufacturers and industrial sensor designers, the SFH 2401 provides a reliable bridge between optical signals and electronic processing. Its ability to handle a wide range of wavelengths (from visible light to near-infrared) makes it one of the most versatile photodiodes in the ams OSRAM portfolio for high-speed signal detection.

Engineering & Technical Advantages

• Ultra-Fast Response Times: With a typical switching time of only 5 ns, the SFH 2401 is designed for high-frequency applications where signal lag must be minimized. This is critical for high-speed industrial counters and optical data links.
• Broad Spectral Sensitivity: While its peak sensitivity is at 940 nm (matching standard IR emitters), the SFH 2401 effectively detects light from 400 nm to 1100 nm. This versatility allows it to be used in both IR-based sensing and visible light detection systems.
• High Linearity: The photodiode maintains excellent linearity between incident light intensity and the resulting photocurrent. This simplifies the design of the drive circuit for engineers seeking consistent measurements in variable lighting conditions.
• Compact Sidelooker Package: The mechanical design is ideal for space-constrained PCB environments. The sidelooking orientation allows for low-profile optical paths in automated machinery and consumer electronics.

Core Applications

• Industrial Automation: High-speed photointerrupters and position sensors for assembly lines.
• Control & Drive Circuits: Optical isolation and high-frequency signal detection.
• Consumer Electronics: Remote control receivers and proximity sensing.
• Automotive Tech: Specialized interior light sensing and optical barriers.
