Additional Details
The specific wavelength sensitivity of the TT208-HF phototransistor varies depending on the material and construction but usually peaks in the infrared or visible light spectrum. The collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) is typically low, ensuring efficient switching. Dark current, the current flowing in the absence of light, is also typically minimized to improve accuracy. The operating and storage temperature ranges usually span from -40°C to +85°C.
