S1227-66BR - Hamamatsu

S1227-66BR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended soldering temperature and time for the S1227-66BR?
  Hamamatsu recommends a soldering temperature of 260°C (500°F) for 10 seconds or less to prevent damage to the photodiode.
• How do I handle and store the S1227-66BR to prevent damage?
  Handle the photodiode by the ceramic package only, avoiding touching the optical surface or electrodes. Store it in a dry, dark place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• What is the recommended operating temperature range for the S1227-66BR?
  The recommended operating temperature range for the S1227-66BR is -20°C to 70°C (-4°F to 158°F). Operating outside this range may affect the photodiode's performance and lifespan.
• Can I use the S1227-66BR in a high-humidity environment?
  While the S1227-66BR is designed to operate in a normal humidity environment, it's not recommended for use in high-humidity environments (>80% RH) without proper protection, such as hermetic sealing or conformal coating, to prevent moisture-related damage.
• What is the typical rise time and fall time of the S1227-66BR?
  The typical rise time and fall time of the S1227-66BR are around 10 ns and 20 ns, respectively, although these values may vary depending on the specific application and circuit design.
