Visible Radiant Optical Sensors Conformity to RoHS Directive

Photo-diode Type BCS Series

The surface-mount type optical sensor that is highly sensitive only
to ambient light with an amorphous silicone semiconductor photo-
diode on the glass substrate.

FEATURES APPLICATIONS
• With a plastic substrate, BCS2015H1 provides super-thin • Brightness adjustment of LCD, CRT
product height of 0.3mm max. • Camera AE sensor (Replace for CdS cell.)
• Highly sensitive to visible light and very little sensitivity to • Lighting control
infrared. A fewer photometry error by different light sources is
available. ORDERING PROCESS
• The stabler temperature coefficient than photo-transistor. It is a Standard part samples are available. Please contact your sales
