HFBR-53A3VEMZ Datasheet, PDF (2/13 Pages) AVAGO TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED – RoHS Compliant 3.3 V 1 x 9 Fiber Optic Transceivers for Fibre Channel

Package and Handling Instructions
Flammability
The HFBR-53A3VEMZ/VFMZ transceiver housing is made
of high strength, heat resistant, chemically resistant, and
UL 94V‑0 flame retardant plastic.
Recommended Solder and Wash Process
The HFBR-53A3VEMZ/VFMZ is compatible with industry-
standard wave or hand solder processes.
Process Plug
This transceiver is supplied with a process plug (HFBR-
5000) for protection of the optical ports within the duplex
SC connector receptacle. This process plug prevents con-
tamination during wave solder and aqueous rinse as well
as during handling, shipping, and storage. It is made of
a high-temperature, molded sealing material that can
withstand 80° C and a rinse pressure of 110 lbs per square
inch.
Recommended Solder Fluxes
Solder fluxes used with the HFBR-53A3VEMZ/VFMZ should
be water-soluble, organic fluxes. Recom­mended solder
fluxes include Lonco 3355-11 from London Chemical
West, Inc. of Burbank, CA, and 100 Flux from Alpha-Metals
of Jersey City, NJ.
Recommended Cleaning/Degrading Chemicals
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 halo-
genated hydrocarbons because of their potential environ-
mental harm.
Regulatory Compliance
(See the Regulatory Compliance Table for transceiver per-
formance)
The overall equipment design will determine the certifi-
cation level. The transceiver performance is offered as a
figure of merit to assist the designer in considering their
use in equipment designs.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
There are two design cases in which immunity to ESD
damage is important.
The first case is during handling of the transceiver prior
to mounting it on the circuit board. It is important to
use normal ESD handling precautions for ESD sensitive
devices. These pre­cautions include using grounded wrist
straps, work benches, and floor mats in ESD controlled
areas. The transceiver perform­ance has been shown to
provide adequate performance in typical industry pro-
duction environments.
The second case to consider is static discharges to the
exterior of the equipment chassis containing the trans-
ceiver parts. To the extent that the duplex SC connector
receptacle is exposed to the outside of the equipment
chassis it may be subject to whatever system-level ESD
test criteria that the equipment is intended to meet.
The transceiver performance is more robust than typical
industry equipment requirements of today.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Most equipment designs utilizing these high-speed
transceivers from Avago will be required to meet the
requirements of FCC in the United States, CENELEC
EN55022 (CISPR 22) in Europe and VCCI in Japan. Refer to
EMI section (page 4) for more details.
Immunity
Equipment utilizing these transceivers will be subject to
radio-frequency electromagnetic fields in some environ-
ments. These transceivers have good immunity to such
fields due to their shielded design.
Eye Safety
These laser-based transceivers are classified as AEL Class 1
(U.S. 21 CFR(J) and AEL Class 1 per EN 60825-1 (+A11).
They are eye safe when used within the data sheet limits
per CDRH. They are also eye safe under normal operating
conditions and under all reasonably forseeable single
fault conditions per EN60825-1. Avago has tested the
transceiver design for compliance with the require-
ments listed below under normal operating conditions
and under single fault conditions where applicable. TUV
Rheinland has granted certification to these transceivers
for laser eye safety and use in EN 60950 and EN 60825-2
applications. Their performance enables the transceivers
to be used without concern for eye safety up to maximum
volts transmitter V_CC.
