Broadcom 50 MBd Fibre Optic Transmitter, Round 685 nm Versatile Link Connector 7.6 mm 12.19mm, 18.8 mm

Broadcom Versatile Link Series Fibre Optic Transmitter, 50MBd Maximum Data Rate, 18.8mm Length - AFBR-1624Z

This Fibre optic transmitter converts electrical signals to optical output for high-speed link applications using a round connector format. It operates as a Compact through-hole module compliant with RoHS requirements and is intended for integration where a low-latency optical transmission element is required.

Features and Benefits:

• 50MBd maximum data rate supports moderate-speed serial links
  5ns typical rise time reduces signal transition delays
  5ns typical fall time minimises output Pulse distortion
  6V forward voltage enables predictable drive requirements
  6-pin through-hole layout simplifies PCB mounting and soldering

Applications

• Suitable for short-reach optical data transmission setups
  Ideal for integration into sensor Interface modules
  Used with control systems requiring optical isolation
  Can be used for prototyping transceiver boards on PCBs
  Used for connecting devices needing a round connector Interface
