Temperature Sensor IC HFBR-4533 Crimpless Connectors for Optical Fiber

HFBR-4533 Crimpless Connectors for Plastic Optical Fiber and Versatile Link

Description

The HFBR-453xZ series connectors are an enhanced version of the HFBR-4501Z and HFBR-4503Z low-cost connectors for plastic optical fi ber, which are compatible with Avago Technologies’ versatile link series transmitters and receivers. The innovative design uses a simple, snap-together concept which eliminates the need for crimping. This connector not only saves the user labor and tool cost, but reduces the yield loss due to installation error.

The HFBR-453xZ series connectors are available in two styles: latching and non-latching. For a duplex connector, two non-latching simplex connectors can be snapped together. The connectors are made of a rugged, fl ame retardant plastic which is good for industrial and other harsh environments. The HFBR-453xZ series connectors are for use with Plastic Optical Fiber only.

The HFBR-453xZ Series of connectors are available in three colors; black, blue and grey. The ability to select colors to match Transmitters and Receivers makes it easier for the User to diff erentiate between fi ber connections especially when there are a large number.

Features

 Requires No Crimp Ring or Crimping Tool

 Durable ULTEM® Plastic Material (UL File #E121562)

 Same Low Cost as HFBR-4501Z/4503Z Series Connectors

 Excellent Retention Force

 Symmetry in Nonlatching Connector Gives Simplex/ Duplex Functionality with the Same Part Applications These connectors can be used for any application in which plastic optical fi ber is used including:

 Industrial Control and Voltage Isolation

 Automotive Networks

 Proprietary System Interconnects

 Gaming Equipment

 Medical Equipment

 Telecommunications

 Datacommunications

Termination Guide

Step-by-Step Plastic Cable Connectoring Instructions The following step-by-step guide describes how to terminate plastic fi ber optic cable. It is ideal for both fi eld and factory installations. Connectors can be easily installed on cable ends with standard tools such as wire strippers and cutters.

Finishing the cable is accomplished with the Avago Technologies HFBR-4593Z Polishing Kit, consisting of a polishing fi xture, 600 grit abrasive paper and 3 mm pink lapping fi lm (3M Company, OC3-14). The connector can be used immediately after polishing.

The following materials are needed for plastic fi ber termination:

1. Plastic optical fi ber cable (Example: HFBR-RUD500Z)

2. Wire cutters or scissors

3. 16 gauge wire stripper (Example: Ideal Stripmaster type 45-092)

4. HFBR-4593Z polishing kit (optional)

5. Crimpless connectors

Applications

These connectors can be used for any application in which plastic optical fi ber is used including:

 Industrial Control and Voltage Isolation

 Automotive Networks

 Proprietary System Interconnects

 Gaming Equipment

 Medical Equipment
