| Datasheet: A.S. Microelectronics (= OSI Optoelectronics) Photodiode "AE 9447" ? |
| (1/1) |
| Uky:
Greeting forum members. I am looking for data on a PhotoDiode, type AE9447 once made by A.S. Micro Electronics, Horten, Norway in 1990. Searching for this company takes me to OSI OptoElectronics which manufactures a lot of different types with different names, although some of the packagings looks identical. The one I have does generate a few hundred millivolts when exposed to indoor light. But if it's performance are optimized for visible wavelengths I do not know. Any member from Norway that can shed "some light" ? |

Do you have some pictures? Is 9447 actually a datecode? |

The photovoltaic element is housed in a large gold plated enlarged TO5-can style (but with a diameter of 12 mm). On top of it is a glass lens covering the entire top area. On its bottom, there are three pins: One for grounding the metal case and two for connecting to the photovoltaic element inside. On its side is markings: "AME 9447 9050". The "9050" is obviously the date code, since the ESD-package is marked "Approved 11/12 1990". This package style is used by OSI today in some of its components. |
