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.
