The recommended operating temperature range for the K815P is -40°C to 100°C, although it can withstand storage temperatures from -40°C to 150°C.
Handle the K815P by the case, not the leads, to prevent damage. Avoid touching the photodiode surface or leads to prevent contamination and electrical discharge damage.
The recommended soldering temperature is 260°C (500°F) for 10 seconds maximum. Use a soldering iron with a temperature control to prevent overheating.
The K815P is not hermetically sealed, so it's not recommended for use in high-humidity environments. If you must use it in a humid environment, ensure proper sealing and protection to prevent moisture ingress.
Use a soft, dry brush or a lint-free cloth to gently remove any debris or contamination from the photodiode surface. Avoid using chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials that can damage the surface.
