Broadcom HFBR-1521ETZ 5 MBd Fibre Optic Transmitter, Round 660 nm Versatile Link Connector 7.6 mm 12.19mm, 18.8 mm

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.

• 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

• Suitable for machine Vision trigger signal distribution
• Ideal for short-range industrial sensor networks
• Used for optical isolation in control cabinets
• Can be used for harsh-environment signalling where space is limited
• Used with custom PCBs requiring through-hole optical ports

It is designed for through-hole mounting to secure the component to a PCB.

Connections are provided via a six-pin footprint compatible with standard through-hole assembly.

The unit uses a round Versatile Link connector for Fibre coupling.

Peak sensitivity is at 660 nm, suitable for visible red transmission.
