S5629 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating temperature range for the S5629?
  The recommended operating temperature range for the S5629 is -20°C to 70°C. However, it can operate up to 85°C with reduced performance.
• How do I handle the S5629 for optimal performance?
  Handle the S5629 by the ceramic package only, avoiding touching the optical surface or the wire bonds. Use an anti-static wrist strap or mat to prevent electrostatic discharge damage.
• What is the recommended reverse voltage for the S5629?
  The recommended reverse voltage for the S5629 is up to 20V. However, it can withstand up to 30V with reduced performance and increased dark current.
• How do I store the S5629 for long-term reliability?
  Store the S5629 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 S5629 in a high-radiation environment?
  The S5629 is not designed for high-radiation environments. It may experience degradation or damage from radiation exposure. Consult Hamamatsu Photonics for radiation-hardened alternatives.
