Opto Diode Corporation now offers U.S. manufactured photodiodes, specifically designed to provide high-quality, high-reliability performance at prices previously only available with lower end off-shore product. The new high performance silicon PIN ODD-1 (1mm²) photodiodes are priced at only $1.20 each for 1000 units. High volume quantities are available with a stock to 2 week shipping schedule directly from Opto Diode's Southern California facility.

The new ODD -1 photodetector features excellent responsivity of 400 nm to 1100 nm, low dark current and an active area of 1.35mm x 0.76mm. High performance specs, value- pricing, and the TO-18 packaging make these ideal for use in standard commercial products and industrial photo controls. The thermal parameters range from -55 degrees to 100 degrees C for storage and operating, a maximum junction temperature of 100 degrees C, and a lead soldering temperature of 240 degrees C. Case-isolated packaging is also available, upon request.

Opto Diode Corporation, a leading supplier of LEDs since 1981, introduced their line of high performance silicon and specialty photodiodes in June, 2004. The company also continues to offer a full catalog of high quality, infrared and visible LEDs, standard and custom products, all manufactured domestically.
