• Manufacturer Part Number: afbr-r524z
• Description: 50 Megabaud Versatile Link Fiber Optic Transmitter And Receiver For 1mm Pof
• Manufacturer: Avago Technologies

Package and Handling Information
The Versatile Link package is made of a flame retardant
VALOX
the same pad layout as a standard, eight pin dual-in-line
package. These Versatile Link packages are stackable and
are enclosed to provide a dust resistant seal. Snap action
simplex, simplex latching, duplex, and duplex latching
connectors are offered with simplex or duplex cables.
Package Housing Color
Versatile Link components and simplex connectors are
color coded to eliminate confusion when making connec-
tions. Receivers are black and transmitters are grey.
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 contami-
nation of the port. Do not use reflow solder processes (i.e.,
infrared reflow or vapor-phase reflow). Non-halogenated
water soluble fluxes (i.e., 0% chloride), not rosin based
fluxes, are recommended for use with Versatile Link
components.
Versatile Link components are moisture sensitive devices
and are shipped in a moisture sealed bag. If the compo-
nents are exposed to air for an extended period of time,
they may require a baking step before the soldering
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, Avago
does not recommend the use of cleaners that use halo-
genated hydrocarbons because of their potential environ-
mental harm.

Interlocked (Stacked) Assemblies
Horizontal packages may be stacked by placing units
with pins facing upward. Initially engage the inter-locking
mechanism by sliding the L bracket body from above into
the L slot body of the lower package. Use a straight edge,
such as a ruler, to bring all stacked units into uniform
alignment. This technique prevents potential harm that
could occur to fingers and hands of assemblers from the
package pins. Stacked horizontal packages can be disen-
gaged if necessary. Repeated stacking and unstacking
causes no damage to individual units.
