methylene chloride, or N-methylpyrolldone. Also, Avago
does not recommend the use of cleaners that use
halogenated hydrocarbons because of their potential
environmental harm.
Handling and Design Information
When soldering, it is advisable to leave the protective cap
on the unit to keep the optics clean. Good system per-
formance requires clean port optics and cable ferrules to
avoid obstructing the optical path. Clean compressed air
is often sufficient to remove particles of dirt; methanol on
a cotton swab also works well.
CAUTION
: The small junction size inherent in the design of these components increases the components’ susceptibility
to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling
and assembly of these components to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.

HFBR-15X5XZ Transmitters
The HFBR-15X5XZ transmitter incorporates a 650 nm LED
in a light gray nonconductive plastic housing. The high
light output power enables the use of both plastic optical
fiber (POF) and Hard Clad Silica (HCS
). This transmitter
can be operated up to 10 MBd using a simple driver circuit.
The HFBR-1505XZ is compatible with SMA connectors,
while the HFBR-1515XZ mates with ST
connectors.

Notes:
1. Typical data at 25° C.
2. Optical power measured at the end of 0.5 meters of 1 mm diameter plastic optical fiber with a large area detector.
3. Minimum and maximum values for PT over temperature are based on a fixed drive current. The recommended drive circuit has temperature
compensation which reduces the variation in PT over temperature, refer to Figures 4 and 6.
4. Thermal resistance is measured with the transmitter coupled to a connector assembly and fiber, and mounted on a printed circuit board.
5. To further reduce the thermal resistance, the cathode trace should be made as large as is consistent with good RF circuit design.
6. For I
F,PK
> 60 mA, the duty factor must maintain I
F,AVG
≤ 60 mA and pulse width ≤ 1s.
7. 1.6 mm below seating plane.
8. Minimum peak output power at 25° C is –5.3 dBm (POF) and –16.0 dBm (HCS
) for 1505C series only.
9. Optical power measured at the end of 1 meter of 1 mm diameter plastic or 200
m
hard clad silica optical fiber with a large area detector.
10. Pins 1 and 4 are for mounting and retaining purposes, but are electrically connected; pins 5 and 6 are electrically isolated. It is recommended that
pins 1, 4, 5, and 6 all be connected to ground to reduce coupling of electrical noise.
11. Output power with 200
m
hard clad silica optical fiber assumes a typical –10.5 dB difference compared to 1 mm plastic optical fiber.
