S1133 - Hamamatsu

S1133 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating temperature range for the S1133?
  The recommended operating temperature range for the S1133 is -20°C to 70°C. However, it can operate up to 85°C with reduced performance.
• How do I handle the S1133 for optimal performance?
  Handle the S1133 by the ceramic package only, avoiding touching the optical surface or the pins. Use an anti-static wrist strap or mat to prevent electrostatic discharge damage.
• What is the recommended reverse voltage for the S1133?
  The recommended reverse voltage for the S1133 is up to 20V. However, it can withstand up to 30V for a short period of time. Exceeding the recommended voltage may reduce the photodiode's lifespan.
• How do I store the S1133 when not in use?
  Store the S1133 in a dry, dark place at room temperature (20°C to 30°C) with a relative humidity of 60% or less. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
• Can I use the S1133 in a high-radiation environment?
  The S1133 is not designed for use in high-radiation environments. It may be damaged or its performance may degrade if exposed to radiation exceeding 10^4 rad (Si).
