Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the GUVV-C20SD and GUVA-C22SD are active production components with identical RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific spectral and responsivity requirements within the provided parameter ranges. The GUVV-C20SD offers extended spectral coverage to 395nm with higher responsivity at 360nm, while the GUVA-C22SD provides equivalent electrical and thermal performance with a slightly reduced active area and spectral range to 370nm. Both components maintain identical voltage ratings, dark current specifications, and operating temperature ranges, ensuring thermal and electrical interchangeability in surface mount applications. Inventory availability and lead time considerations may influence part selection without compromising functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GUVA-C22SD be used as a direct replacement for GUVV-C20SD in existing designs?

A: Yes, the GUVA-C22SD is electrically and mechanically compatible as a substitute. Both components share identical voltage ratings (5 V DC Reverse Max), dark current specifications (1nA Max), operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C), and package configuration (2-SMD, No Lead). Design verification is required if the application depends on spectral coverage beyond 370nm or responsivity values specific to the GUVV-C20SD at 360nm.

Q: What are the key differences between these two photodiode sensors?

A: The primary differences are spectral range and responsivity. The GUVV-C20SD covers 240nm to 395nm with 0.17 A/W responsivity at 360nm, while the GUVA-C22SD covers 240nm to 370nm with 0.14 A/W responsivity at 350nm. The GUVA-C22SD has a slightly smaller active area (0.076mm² versus 0.08mm²). All other electrical, thermal, and compliance parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes, both components operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 85°C, ensuring equivalent thermal performance in applications within this specification window.

Q: Do both parts meet current environmental compliance standards?

A: Yes, both the GUVV-C20SD and GUVA-C22SD are RoHS3 compliant with REACH Unaffected status and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), meeting current environmental and reliability standards for surface mount optical sensor applications.

Q: What packaging format is used for both components?

A: Both parts are supplied in 2-SMD, No Lead surface mount packages on Tape & Reel (TR) for automated assembly processes.
