Broadcom 5 MBd Fibre Optic Transmitter, Round 660 nm Versatile Link Connector 7.6 mm 12.19mm, 18.8 mm

Broadcom Versatile Link Series Fibre Optic Transmitter, 5MBd Maximum Data Rate, 67m Maximum Data Transmission Distance - HFBR-1521ETZ

This Fibre optic transmitter converts electrical signals into optical output for short-range data links within industrial systems. It is designed for through-hole mounting and uses a round Versatile Link connector, providing a Compact optical Interface with Peak sensitivity at 660 nm suitable for visible-wavelength signalling. The unit meets RoHS standards and is intended for integration where a small form factor and straightforward board attachment are required.

Features and Benefits:

• Supports data rates up to 5 MBd for moderate-speed communications
  Achieves maximum transmission distance of 67 m for short links
  Typical rise time 20 ns enabling timely signal transitions
  Typical fall time 20 ns maintaining symmetrical timing response
  Forward voltage 2.05 V allowing predictable drive requirements
  Six-pin package for simple sensor and control interfacing
