Technical Specifications

The HSMS-2810 series offers a range of specifications depending on the specific part number within the family. Common parameters include a maximum forward current (IF) of around 50mA, a reverse voltage (VR) typically between 15V and 20V, and a junction capacitance (Cj) in the range of 0.7 pF to 1.2 pF. The forward voltage (VF) at 1mA is typically around 0.34V. The operating temperature range is generally from -65°C to +150°C.

The SOT-23 package allows for efficient heat dissipation and easy handling during assembly. The low turn-on voltage characteristic is critical for detecting very weak signals with minimal signal loss. Different configurations within the HSMS-2810 family cater to specific circuit requirements, providing flexibility in design.

The HSMS-2810 series are well-suited for demanding RF and microwave detection applications where high sensitivity, speed, and compactness are essential.
