UV LIGHT SENSOR GUVA-S12SD MODULE

Description

Use this analogue UV sensor module extends to extend your light sensing spectrum. Its UV photodiode will detect light ranging from 240-370 nm (thus including UVB and most of the UVA spectrum). As the photodiode has a very small nano-ampere signal level, the device contains an opamp to amplify this signal.

This product is a replacement of: VMA328
