TO-18 Ceramic Package Photocell

FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

APPLICATIONS



Passive resistance output



Ceramic package

The NSL-5122 is a light dependent resistor with sensitivity in the

visible light region. The CdS photoconductive cell is on a TO-18

ceramic and the photocell surface is plastic encapsulated for

moisture resistance.
