HFBR-0400 Series Evaluation Kits
HFBR-0410 ST Evaluation Kit
Contains the following:
Package and Handling Information
Package Information
All HFBR-0400 Series
transmitters and receivers are
housed in a low-cost, dual-inline
package that is made of high
strength, heat resistant,
chemically resistant, and UL
94V-O flame retardant ULTEM®
plastic (UL File #E121562). The
transmitters are easily identified
by the light grey color connector
port. The receivers are easily
identified by the dark grey color
connector port. (Black color for
conductive port). The package is
designed for auto-insertion and
wave soldering so it is ideal for
high volume production
applications.
Handling and Design Information
Each part comes with a
protective port cap or plug
covering the optics. These caps/
plugs will vary by port style.
When soldering, it is advisable
to leave the protective cap on
the unit to keep the optics clean.
Good system performance
requires clean port optics and
cable ferrules to avoid
obstructing the optical path.
Clean compressed air often is
sufficient to remove particles of
dirt; methanol on a cotton swab
also works well.

to reduce design time. Contains
the following:
Recommended Chemicals for
Cleaning/Degreasing HFBR-0400
Products
Alcohols: methyl, isopropyl,
isobutyl.
Aliphatics: hexane, heptane,
Other: soap solution, naphtha.
Do not use partially halogenated
hydrocarbons such as 1,1.1
trichloroethane, ketones such as
MEK, acetone, chloroform, ethyl
acetate, methylene dichloride,
phenol, methylene chloride, or
N-methylpyrolldone. Also,
Agilent does not recommend the
use of cleaners that use
halogenated hydrocarbons
because of their potential
environmental harm.
