Request InfoHamamatsu CorporationTwo new phototransistors from Hamamatsu Corp., the S10084 and S10115, are available for use in brightness-detection applications such as backlight control of LCD TVs and mobile devices, ambient light sensing in household or outdoor lighting fixtures, and light detection in surveillance cameras. The S10084 is a through-hole-type phototransistor that can be easily implemented as a replacement for CdS photoconductive cells of the same shape, to comply with RoHS directives. The S10115 is a surface-mounted phototransistor with miniature dimensions (1.25 mm x 2.0 mm x 0.8 mm). Both have a spectral...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 3/14/2024Chip-on-Board LightsThe CTM-18 and -22 from Luminus Devices are tunable chip-on-board (COB) lights that use color combination ranges from 6500 to 2700 K, 4000 to 1800 K, and high melanopic 5000 K Salud™ to 2200 K....Photonics.com 9/29/2023Machine Vision SoftwareThe MERLIC 5.4 machine vision software from MVTec Software GmbH is suited for machine vision beginners interested in creating and solving complete machine vision applications.
