Frequently asked questions
How do I use it in a circuit?
It is typically used as a light-controlled switch or sensor, with a load or pull-up resistor on the emitter or collector side. The output voltage depends on light intensity and the load you choose, so test the circuit with your light source.
Does it respond best to visible light or infrared?
Its peak wavelength is 880nm, which is in the infrared range, so it responds best to infrared light. It pairs well with an 880nm-class infrared LED.
