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
HFBR-X5X5XFZ 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, Avago
does not recommend the use of cleaners that use
halogenated hydrocarbons because of their potential
environmental harm.
Package Information
All HFBR-X5X5XFZ series transmitters and receivers are
housed in a dual-in-line metal package that is high
strength. 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 su cient to remove particles of dirt; methanol
on a cotton swab also works well.
