LIGHT DEPENDENT RESISTORS, PHOTORESISTOR

Light Dependent Resistors (LDR), Photoresistor (CDS)

PGM

A photoresistor, light dependent resistor (LDR), cadmium sulfide (CdS) cell, photoconductor, or photocell is a variable resistor whose resistance depends on the amount of light incident upon it. In other words, its resistance will be high in the dark and low in the light.


Tokenchina's PGM series are specified for light-sensitive switching devices, security alarms, street lamps, and clock radios. Application of CdS photoresistor specific designs also available including different photo resistance and response time specifications adjusted to resistance requirements.


Detailed specifications, both mechanical and electrical, please contact our sales representative for more information.

Terminology

  1. Light Resistance: Measured at 10 lux with standard light A (2854K-color temperature) and 2hr. preillumination at 400-600 lux prior testing.
  2. Dark Resistance: Measured at 10th seconds after closing 10 lux.
  3. Gamma characteristic:
    Under 10 lux and 100 lux and given by
    γ = log(R10/R100) / log(100/10) = log(R10/R100)
    R10, R100: resistance at 10 lux and 100 lux. The tolerance of  γ is ±0.1.
  4. Pmax: Max. power dissipation at ambient temperature of 25°C.At higher ambient temperature,the maximum power permissible may be lowered.
  5. Vmax: Max. voltage in darkness that may be applied to the device continuously.
  6. Spectral peak: Spectral sensitivity of photoresistors depends on the wavelength of light they are exposed to and in accordance with fig 2. The tolerance of spectral peak is ±50nm.
