UVA Photodetector – TOCON_A6UVA
TOCON_A6UVA – Precision UVA Photodetector for Curing, Coating Control, and Photobiological Measurement Applications
The TOCON_A6UVA from SGLUX GmbH is a high-accuracy UVA photodetector engineered for precise measurement of longwave ultraviolet radiation (320–400 nm) in industrial and scientific environments.
It integrates a solar-blind Silicon Carbide (SiC) photodiode with an onboard low-noise transimpedance amplifier, providing a clean 0–5 V DC output directly proportional to UVA irradiance.
With a spectral response peaking near 350 nm, the TOCON_A6UVA is ideal for UV curing, coating inspection, fluorescence excitation, and polymer testing.
Each unit is factory-calibrated and traceable to NIST / PTB standards, ensuring consistent accuracy, long-term stability, and repeatability.
Compact, rugged, and resistant to visible or infrared interference, the TOCON_A6UVA ensures reliable UVA measurement for industrial process validation, optical calibration, and photobiological research.
Understanding UVA Photodetector - TOCON_A6UVA
The TOCON_A6UVA is a solar-blind UVA photodetector designed to measure radiation between 320 nm and 400 nm, with peak sensitivity at 350 nm.
Its SiC-based detector blocks visible and IR light, ensuring precise UVA detection without spectral contamination.
Equipped with an integrated transimpedance amplifier, it outputs a 0–5 V linear signal for direct connection to monitoring or control devices such as SENSOR MONITOR 5.0, VOLTCON, or SGCD4.
Calibrated traceably to NIST/PTB standards, the TOCON_A6UVA guarantees reproducible, stable UVA readings in UV curing, inspection, and material testing applications.
