Vishay BPW96B Phototransistor

The BPW96B is a high-sensitivity silicon NPN phototransistor designed for visible and near-infrared light detection. Encased in a T-1%4 plastic package, it features leads with stand-off for easy mounting. Known for fast response times and an angular half-sensitivity of +20°, it is ideal for optical sensing, control, and drive circuits. Its high radiant sensitivity makes it suitable for applications requiring accurate light detection in electronic and instrumentation systems, ensuring precise performance across a broad spectral range from 450 to 1080 nm.
