“The G1719x series are near-infrared sensors offering high sensitivity and low dark current, comparable to conventional metal packages, while featuring a surface-mounted ceramic design compatible with lead-free re-flow soldering,” according to the company. They are “tailored to meet the needs of researchers and engineers across industries including gas sensing, remote temperature measurements and laser applications”.

here are three wavelength ranges: 0.9 to 1.7μm (1.55μm peak), 0.9 to 1.9μm (1.75μm peak), 0.9 to 2.1μm (1.95μm peak) or 0.9 to 2.6μm (2.3μm peak), and three photo diode diameters*: 0.3. 0.5 or 1.0mm. All combinations are available.
Packaging is 2.9 x 2.9 x 1.2mm, with light entering perpendicular to the PCB.
Low dark current and high sensitivity are claimed, but the company is not making these figures public yet.
*the company describes these as ‘area’ not diameter. Electronics Weekly is checking which is true.
