Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
There are two design cases in
which immunity to ESD damage is
important.
The first case is during handling of
the transceiver prior to mounting it
on the circuit board. It is important
to use normal ESD handling
precautions for ESD sensitive
devices. These precautions
include using grounded wrist
straps, work benches, and floor
mats in ESD controlled areas, etc.

Recommended Solder Fluxes and
Cleaning/Degreasing Chemicals
Solder fluxes used with the
HFBR/HFCT-5208M fiber-optic
transceiver should be water-
soluble, organic solder fluxes.
Some recommended solder fluxes
are Lonco 3355-11 from London
Chemical West, Inc. of Burbank,
CA, and 100 Flux from Alpha-
metals of Jersey City, NJ or
equivalent fluxes from other
companies.
The second case to consider is
static discharges to the exterior of
the equipment chassis containing
the transceiver parts. To the
extent that the duplex SC
connector receptacle is exposed
to the outside of the equipment
chassis, it may be subject to
whatever ESD system level test
criteria that the equipment is
intended to meet.
Both shielded design options
connect only to the equipment
chassis and not to the signal or
logic ground of the circuit board
within the equipment closure. The

transceivers, keep the area on the
printed circuit board directly
under the external metal shield
free of any components and
circuit board traces. For
additional EMI performance
advantage, use duplex SC fiber-
optic connectors that have low
metal content inside the
connector. This lowers the ability
of the metal fiber-optic
connectors to couple EMI out
through the aperture of the panel
or enclosure.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Most equipment designs utilizing
these high-speed transceivers
from Agilent will be required to
meet the requirements of FCC in
the United States, CENELEC
EN55022 (CISPR 22) in Europe
and VCCI in Japan.
hydrocarbons for cleaning/
degreasing. Examples of
chemicals to avoid are 1,1.1
trichloroethane, ketones (such as
MEK), acetone, chloroform, ethyl
acetate, methylene dichloride,
phenol, methylene chloride or
N methylpyrolldone.
The HFBR/HFCT-5208M EMI has
been characterized with a chassis
enclosure to demonstrate the
robustness of the parts.
Performance of a system
containing these transceivers will
vary depending on the individual
chassis design.
