PDB-V617-2 Application Field and Working Principle

The PDB-V617-2, or Photo Diode-Visible 617-2, is an optical sensor used to detect visible light signals and convert them into electrical signals for measuring or processing applications. It is commonly used in consumer electronics, robotics, and many other industries.

The PDB-V617-2 uses a photoconductive element to detect a wide range of incident visible light signals. A photo diode works by changing its apparent resistance based on the intensity of light shining on its surface. When the light strikes the diode, electrons are released and the current flowing through the diode increases. The photo diode then converts the current to an electrical signal, with higher light intensities resulting in higher output voltages.

The PDB-V617-2 is a versatile optical sensor capable of operating in a range of visible wavelengths, from 400 nm to 700 nm. It has a peak spectral sensitivity of 617 nanometers, which gives the sensor its name. It has a wide operating temperature range of -20 to +85 Celsius and can be used in many different applications.

The PDB-V617-2 can be used for a range of applications, including light sensing, object detection, color sensing, light intensity control and more. It can be used to detect light levels in a room and turn on or off lights accordingly, or can be used in robotic arms to detect objects in their path. It is also commonly used in consumer electronics, such as camera autofocus and image stabilization systems.

The PDB-V617-2 is a convenient optical sensor due to its small size, economical cost and easy to use design. It can be used in many different industries, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring light sensing capabilities.

Working Principle

The working principle of the PDB-V617-2 is based on a photoconductive element which responds to incident visible light. When light strikes the surface of the diode, electrons are released into the material of the diode and the current flowing through the diode increases. The amount of current is proportional to the intensity of the incident light. The photo diode then converts this current into an electrical signal which can be measured and processed.

The PDB-V617-2 is particularly sensitive to light at 617 nanometers, giving it its name. It is also capable of operating in a range of visible wavelengths, from 400 nm to 700 nm, which makes it suitable for a variety of applications.

Conclusion

The PDB-V617-2 is a versatile optical sensor capable of detecting a wide range of incident visible light signals. It is ideal for applications which require light sensing capabilities, including light intensity monitoring, color sensing, object detection and more. Thanks to its small size, low cost and easy to use design, the PDB-V617-2 is an excellent choice for many different industries.
