HFBR-0500ETZ Series
Versatile Link
The Versatile Fiber Optic Connection
Data Sheet
Description
The Versatile Link series is a complete family of fiber
optic link components for applications requiring a low
cost solution. The HFBR-0500ETZ series includes trans-
mitters, 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 specifi-cations for each component. The
key optical and electrical parameters of links configured
with the HFBR-0500ETZ family are fully guaranteed from
-40° to 85° C.
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 inser-
tion and wave soldering.
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 avail able for use in the
HFBR-25X1ETZ and HFBR-25X2ETZ 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.

Application Literature
Application Note 1035 (Versatile Link)
Handling
Versatile Link components are auto-insertable. When
wave soldering is performed with Versatile Link compo-
nents, the optical port plug should be left in to prevent
contamination of the port. Do not use reflow solder
processes (i.e., infrared reflow or vapor-phase reflow).
Nonhalogenated water soluble fluxes (i.e., 0% chloride),
not rosin based fluxes, are recommended for use with
Versatile Link components.
Versatile Link components are moisture sensitive
devices and are shipped in a moisture sealed bag. If the
components are exposed to air for an extended period of
time, they may require a baking step before the solder-
ing process. Refer to the special labeling on the shipping
tube for details.
Package and Handling Information
The compact Versatile Link package is made of a flame
retardant VALOX
®
UL 94 V-0 material (UL file # E121562)
and uses the same pad layout as a standard, eight pin
dual-in-line package. Vertical and horizontal mountable
parts are available. These low profile Versatile Link pack-
ages are stackable and are enclosed to provide a dust
resistant seal. Snap action simplex, simplex latching,
duplex, and duplex latching connectors are offered with
simplex or duplex cables.
Package Orientation
Performance and pinouts for the vertical and hori-
zontal packages are identical. To provide additional
attachment support for the vertical Versatile Link
housing, the designer has the option of using a self-
tapping screw through a printed circuit board into a
mounting hole at the bottom of the package. For most
applications this is not necessary.
Recommended Chemicals for Cleaning/Degreasing
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, Avago
does not recommend the use of cleaners that use
halogenated hydrocarbons because of their potential
environmental harm.
Package Housing Color
Versatile Link components and simplex connectors are
color coded to eliminate confusion when making connec-
tions. Receivers are blue and transmitters are gray.
