CAUTION: The small junction size inherent in the design of these components increases the components’ susceptibility to damage from elec-
trostatic 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
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
Technologies does not recommend the use of cleaners
that use halogenated hydrocarbons because of their
potential environmental harm.
Package Information
The RoHS-compliant 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 94V-O (UL le # E121562) ame retardant plastic.
Both the transmitter and receiver are coated with a layer
of conductive alloy for better air discharge (ESD) perfor-
mance. 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.
