Standard type designed for general-purpose, wide application

CdS photoconductive cells utilize photoconductive effects in semiconductors that decrease their resistance when illuminated by light. These sensors are non-polar resistive elements with spectral response characteristics close to the human eye (luminous efficiency), thus making their operating circuits simple and small.

Features

• Small size, thin package

• Low price

• Wide range of sensor lineup

Applications

• Programed electronic shutter and stroboscope light control for compact camera

• Auto dimmer for digital display, CRT and room illumination

• Sensor for automatic light on/off

• Sensor for electronic toy and teaching aid material
