Receivers are blue and transmit-
ters are gray, except for the
HFBR-15X3 transmitter, which is
black.
Handling
Versatile Link components are
auto-insertable. When wave
soldering is performed with
Versatile Link components, the
optical port plug should be left in
to prevent contamination of the
port. Do not use reflow solder
processes (i.e., infrared reflow or
vapor-phase reflow).
Nonhalogenated water soluble
fluxes (i.e., 0% chloride), not
rosin based fluxes, are recom-
mended for use with Versatile
Link components.
Versatile Link components are
moisture sensitive devices and
are shipped in a moisture sealed
bag. If the components are
exposed to air for an extended
period of time, they may require
a baking step before the solder-
ing process. Refer to the special
labeling on the shipping tube for
details.
Recommended Chemicals for
Cleaning/Degreasing
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.

CAUTION
This bag contains
MOISTURE-SENSITIVE
DEVICES
1. Shelf life in sealed bag: 12 months at < 40°C and < 90% Relative
Humidity (RH).
2. After this bag is opened, devices that will be subjected to wave
soldering, or equivalent processing (solder temperature < 260°C for
10 sec) must be:
a) Mounted within 72 hours at factory conditions of ≤ 30°C/60% RH.
b) Stored at ≤ 20% RH.
3. Devices require baking, before mounting, if:
a) Desiccant changes to PINK.
b) If 2a or 2b are not met.
4. If baking is required, devices may be baked outside of tube for 20
hours at 75°C.
