Package and Handling Instructions
Flammability
The HFBR-53A5VEMZ/FMZ transceiver housing is made
of high strength, heat resistant, chemically resistant,
and UL 94V-0 ame retardant
plastic.
Recommended Solder and Wash Process
The HFBR-53A5VEMZ/FMZ 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 contamination 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-53A5VEMZ/FMZ
should be water-soluble, organic uxes. Recom mended
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, ac-
etone, 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.
Regulatory Compliance
(See the Regulatory Compliance Table for transceiver
performance)
The overall equipment design will determine the
certification level. The transceiver performance is
oered as a gure 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 rst 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 pre cautions include using grounded
wrist straps, work benches, and floor mats in ESD
controlled areas. The transceiver perform ance has been
shown to provide adequate performance in typical
industry production environments.
The second case to consider is static discharges to
the exterior of the equipment chassis containing the
transceiver 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 intend-
ed 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 elds in some en-
vironments. These transceivers have good immunity to
such elds due to their shielded design.
Eye Safety
These laser-based transceivers are classied as AEL Class
I (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 nor-
mal operating conditions and under all reasonably
forseeable single fault conditions per EN60825-1.
Avago has tested the transceiver design for com-
pliance with the requirements listed below under
normal operating conditions and under single fault
conditions where applicable. TUV Rheinland has
granted certication 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
