The recommended operating temperature range for the SFH615A-3X018 is -40°C to 100°C.
Handle the SFH615A-3X018 by the body, not the leads, to prevent damage. Avoid touching the photodiode surface, as it can be sensitive to moisture and contamination.
Store the SFH615A-3X018 in a dry, dark place at room temperature (20°C to 30°C) and humidity below 60%.
While the SFH615A-3X018 is not hermetically sealed, it can operate in humid environments. However, it's essential to follow proper handling and storage procedures to minimize moisture exposure.
Use a soldering iron with a temperature below 260°C (500°F) and a soldering time of less than 3 seconds. Avoid applying excessive force or pressure, which can damage the photodiode.
