HFBR-0500Z 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-0500Z 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-0500Z family are fully guaranteed from
0° to 70°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-25X1Z/2Z/4Z receivers. A shield has been in-
tegrated 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.

Evaluation Kit
HFBR-0500Z 1 MBd Versatile Link:
This kit contains: HFBR-1524Z Tx, HFBR-2524Z Rx,
polishing kit, 3 styles of plastic connectors, Bulkhead
feedthrough, 5 meters of 1 mm diameter plastic cable,
lapping film and grit paper, and HFBR-0500Z data sheet.
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.

Application Note 1035 (Versatile Link)
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, except
for the HFBR-15X3Z transmitter, which is black.
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.

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.
Level
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.

Interlocked (Stacked) Assemblies
(refer to Figure 1)
Horizontal packages may be stacked by placing units
with pins facing upward. Initially engage the inter-
locking mechanism by sliding the L bracket body from
above into the L slot body of the lower package. Use
a straight edge, such as a ruler, to bring all stacked
units into uniform alignment. This technique prevents
potential harm that could occur to fingers and hands of
assemblers from the package pins. Stacked horizontal
packages can be disengaged if necessary. Repeated
stacking and unstacking causes no damage to individual
units.
To stack vertical packages, hold one unit in each hand,
with the pins facing away and the optical ports on the
bottom. Slide the L bracket unit into the L slot unit. The
straight edge used for horizontal package alignment is
not needed.
