www.hamamatsu.com
The C13367 series are optical measurement modules that can detect low-level light. It has a built-in MPPC with a fl exible cable.
These modules consist of an MPPC, an amplifi er, a high-voltage power supply circuit, and a temperature compensation circuit.
The photosensitive area is available in three sizes: 1.3 × 1.3 mm, 3 × 3 mm, 6 × 6 mm. The signal output is analog. The
modules operate just by connecting them to an external power supply (±5 V).

1: When there is a temperature diff erance between a product and the surrounding area in high humidity environment, dew condensation
may occur on the product surface. Dew condensation on the product may cause deteration in characteristics and reliability.
Note: Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings even momentarily may cause a drop in product quality. Always be sure to use the product
within the absolute maximum ratings.
