Versatile Link
The Versatile Fiber Optic Connection
Data Sheet
Description
Features
Extended temperature range -40 to +85° C
RoHS-compliant
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.
Low cost fiber optic components
Enhanced digital links: dc-5 MBd
Link distance up to 43m at 1MBd and 20m at 5MBd
Low current link: 6 mA peak supply current
Horizontal and vertical mounting
Interlocking feature
High noise immunity
Easy connectoring: simplex, duplex, and latching
connectors
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.
Flame retardant
Transmitters incorporate a 660 nm red LED for easy
visibility
Compatible with standard TTL circuitry
Applications
Industrial Drives/Frequency Inverters
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 available 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.
Renewable Energies (Wind Turbines, Solar PV farms)
Power electronics
Reduction of lightning/voltage transient susceptibility
Motor controller triggering
Data communications and local area networks
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.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) for regulated
systems: FCC, VDE, CSA, etc.
Tempest-secure data processing equipment
Isolation in test and measurement instruments
Error free signalling for industrial and manufacturing
equipment
Automotive communications and control networks
Noise immune communication in audio and video
equipment
