Surface Mount Ambient Visible Light Sensor (PT-A1-AC-3528-850)

 Ambient Visible Light Sensor - PT-A1-AC-3528-850

The (PTA1AC3528-850) is a sensor with near the human eye that measures the intensity of visible light.

Light sensors are most commonly present in industrial lighting, electronic devices, and automotive systems, where they provide settings to be adjusted automatically in response to changing ambient light conditions. By activating, switching off, or modifying features, ambient light sensors can conserve electric batteries and supply extra safety while eliminating the requirement for manual adjustments. DeMint offers a wide variety of ambient light sensors in leaded and surface mount packages, with photodiode or phototransistor outputs.

In portable electronic products, lowering the power consumption to supply the consumer with elevated battery existence is among today’s critical design factors. The liquid crystal display (LCD) which is connected backlighting are the more power hungry loads in portable products. Consequently, using an ambient light sensor (ALS) to optimize the whole process of the backlight LEDs under a number of ecological lighting situations is growing while, simultaneously, the most well-liked technology choices open to designers for sensing have shifted towards more integrated solutions.

DeMint chip ambient light sensors can be used in a variety of LCD-equipped portable products including PDAs, notebook PCs, digital cameras, video players, GPS-based navigation systems, and more. Any portable product by having an LCD is really a candidate for ALS technology to lessen power consumption.

DeMint taking the advantage of temperature compensation internal process on the chip, (PTA1AC3528-850) features one times higher temperature resistance than other similar products while working on high temperature environment. By selecting the accuracy of chips, under strict management of production process, chip visible light sensors finished batch consistency uniform. The consistency is 3 to 5 times higher on comparison of similar photosensitive devices.

Mounting :

  1. While packages are on one circuit board, avoid mismatching in the thermal expansion of each component, generate cracks in the package and break the bonding wire.

Soldering :

  1. Do not immerse plastic parts in tin tank.
  2. During soldering, when adding thermal stress in a moisture absorbing state, moisture evaporates, swells and generates stress to the internal package.
  3. To avoid swellings and cracks in the surface of the package, followsoldering conditions below.
  4. Wave soldering method: 120°C < 60s、260°C < 5s.
  5. Manual soldering: 260°C < 5s、340°C < 3s.

Lead-forming and cuttings :

  1. Before soldering, perform lead forming at normal temperature.
  2. While forming or cutting the lead, stay the area at a distance of 5 mm or greater from the root of the lead.
  3. Avoid mounting which may cause force on the root of the lead.

Storage:

The sensor is incorporated in the transparent resin package. Because of its sensitivity to humidity, the package is moisture-proof. When storing the sensor, do as instructed below.
  1. Quickly use after opening. (within 2 days, below 30 °C/60 % R.H.).
  2. Once unpacked, use within three months, or keeping within a moisture-proof method, which include maintaining within a moisture-proof container with silica gels, is suggested for longterm safe-keeping.
  3. Very bad storage conditions may deteriorate solderability or characteristics, and defect the appearance. Recommended conditions of the storage place, temperature 0°C to 30 °C, humidity below 60% R.H. (Avoid freezingand dew condensation).

Cleaning:

  5. Freon can not be used as a cleaning agent.
  6. When cleaning products with ultrasonic cleaning, ultrasonic power and time should be less than 300W and 30 seconds, respectively.
  7. PCB and product can not touch the oscillator. Can not make the product on the PCB resonance.
  8. This model is static sensitive devices, so static electricity and surges can damage the product.
