HFBR-0501 Series
Versatile Link
The Versatile Fiber Optic Connection
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The Versatile Link series is a complete family of fiber optic
link components for applications requiring a low cost
solution. The HFBR-0501 series includes transmitters,
receivers, connectors and cable specified for easy design.
This series of components is ideal for solving problems
with voltage isolation/insulation, EMI/RFI immunity or
data security. The optical link design is simplified by the
logic compatible receivers and complete specifications
for each component. The key optical and electrical parameters of links configured with the HFBR-0501 family are
fully guaranteed from 0° to 70° C.
Low cost fiber optic components
A wide variety of package configurations and connectors
provide the designer with numerous mechanical
solutions to meet application requirements. The transmitter and receiver components have been designed for
use in high volume/low cost assembly processes such as
auto insertion and wave soldering.
Flame retardant
Transmitters incorporate a 660 nm LED. Receivers include
a monolithic DC coupled, digital IC receiver with open
collector Schottky output transistor. An internal pullup
resistor is available for use in the HFBR-25X1/2/4 receivers.
A shield has been integrated into the receiver IC to provide
additional, localized noise immunity.
Internal optics have been optimized for use with 1 mm
diameter plastic optical fiber. Versatile Link specifications incorporate all connector interface losses. Therefore,
optical calculations for common link applications are
simplified.
