Package Information

All HFBR-X5X5XZ series transmitters and receivers are housed in a low-cost,

dual-in-line package that is made of high strength, heat resistant, chemically

resistant and UL 94 V-O (UL file # E121562) flame retardant plastic. The

transmitters are easily identified by the light grey colored connector port.

The receivers are easily identified by the dark grey colored connector port.

The package is designed for auto-insertion and wave soldering so it is ideal

for high volume production applications.

Handling and Design Information

When soldering, it is advisable to leave the protective cap on the unit to

keep the optics clean. Good system performance requires clean port optics

and cable ferrules to avoid obstructing the optical path. Clean compressed

air often is sufficient to remove particles of dirt; methanol on a cotton swab

also works well.

CAUTION: The small junction size inherent in the design of these components increases the components’ susceptibility to damage from electrostatic discharge

(ESD). It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling and assembly of these components to prevent damage and/or degradation which

may be induced by ESD.

Recommended Chemicals for Cleaning/Degreasing

X5X5XZ Products

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, Agilent does not recommend the use of cleaners

that use halogenated hydrocarbons because of their potential environmental

harm.
