Broadcom 10 MBd Fibre Optic Transmitter, Square 662 nm Versatile Link Connector 7.62 mm 10.2mm, 18.9 mm

Broadcom HFBR-0508Z Series Fibre Optic Transmitter, 10MBd Maximum Data Rate, 662nm Peak Sensitivity Wavelength - HFBR-1528Z

This Fibre optic transmitter converts electrical signals into optical output for short-range data links and sensing systems. It mounts by snapping into place and uses a square versatile-link connector to Interface with mating components. The device is suited to environments where Compact optical modulation and straightforward installation are required.

Features and Benefits:

• Supports data transmission at 10MBd for moderate-speed links
  Emits at Peak sensitivity around 662 nm for matched detectors
  Rise time of 13 ns enables Rapid signal transitions
  Fall time of 10 ns reduces Pulse tailing for cleaner edges
  Low forward voltage of 2.65 V lowers drive-power requirements
  Six-pin snap-in format simplifies PCB installation and wiring

Applications

• Used for short-range optical communication between modules
  Suitable for industrial sensing using visible-wavelength detectors
  Ideal for point-to-point data links in confined assemblies
  Can be used for optical interconnects requiring snap-in mounting
  Used with versatile-link square connectors for Compact interfaces
