1: When there is a temperature difference 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 deterioration 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.

T
he C13366 series (GA type) are optical measurement modules capable of detecting low level light. These modules consist of
a thermoelectrically cooled MPPC, a signal amplifi er circuit, a high-voltage power supply circuit, and a temperature control cir-
cuit. The photosensitive area is available in two sizes of 1.3 × 1.3 mm and 3 × 3 mm, and the signal output is analog. Mod-
ules operate just by connecting them to an external power supply (±5 V).
