High Speed Detectors (BPX65)
The BPX65 family of detectors feature Centronic’s 1mm
2
high speed, high sensitivity chip
already successful in a wide variety of applications. The chip can be packaged in various
forms suitable for fibre-optic communication, such as the AX65-RF (precisely centred,
isolated, low chip to window spacing) a standard 2 or 3 lead TO18 or even epoxy
encapsulated. It has also been used for encoder designs and with MIL SPEC release at
the heart of advanced laser warning systems.
