MPPC®modules C11202 series Single pixel photon counting module for low-light-level detection The C11202 series is a single-photon counting module capable of detecting low light levels. The C11202 series is made up of a single-pixel thermoelectrically cooled MPPC, a signal amplifier circuit, a comparator circuit, a high-voltage power supply circuit, and a temperature control circuit. The photosensitive area is available in two sizes of ϕ50 μm and ϕ100 μm, and such small photosensitive areas offer a low dark count. Modules operate just by connecting them to an external power supply (±5 V). Features Applications High sensitivity in the short wavelength range Low-light-level measurement Low dark count Particle diameter measurement Low afterpulse Fluorescence measurement Analytical instrument Structure Parameter Internal MPPC Photoseinsitive area size Symbol - C11202-050 C11202-100 Unit μm Single pixel type ϕ50 ϕ100 Absolute maximum ratings Parameter Supply voltage Operating temperature Storage temperature Symbol Vs Topr Tstg Condition C11202-050 C11202-100 Unit V °C °C ±6 -10 to +40 -20 to +70 No condensation No condensation Note: Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings even momentarily may cause a drop in product quality.

This adapter allows connecting a BNC or SMA cable to the MPPC module. A10613-01 (SMB-BNC) A10613-02 (SMB-SMA) Precautions ∙ For cleaning the product, wipe using a clean, soft, dry cloth. Do not use organic solvents such as thinner and acetone. ∙ Do not cover the unit with a dark cloth or something similar while the product is running. Covering the product can cause the internal temperature to rise and prevent it from operating normally.
