VISIBLE DETECTOR
CdS photoconductive cell
Resin coating type (5R type)
Standard type designed for general-purpose, wide application
CdS photoconductive cells utilize photoconductive effects in semiconductors that decrease their resistance when illuminated by light. These
sensors are non-polar resistive elements with spectral response characteristics close to the human eye (luminous efficiency), thus making their
operating circuits simple and small.

illuminated). The fall time is the time required for the sensor resistance to decay from the saturated conductance level to
37 %.
