Broadcom 50 Mbps 685 nm Fibre Optic Receiver, Rectangular, Duplex Connector

This Fibre optic receiver converts optical signals into TTL-level electrical outputs for short-range data links. It is designed for through-hole installation and accepts a duplex rectangular connector, making it suitable for Compact optical interfacing where moderate data rates and defined sensitivity are required.

• TTL output provides direct digital interfacing with controllers
• 50Mb/s maximum data rate supports medium-speed communication
• 5 ns rise time enables Rapid signal edge response
• 5 ns fall time ensures consistent signal timing behaviour
• 200 m maximum transmission distance extends link reach in installations
• 6-pin configuration simplifies straightforward PCB connections

• Suitable for localised industrial sensor networks requiring TTL outputs
• Ideal for machine control links needing 50Mb/s throughput
• Used with duplex rectangular Fibre cables for bidirectional paths
• Can be used for short campus or plant interconnect links up to 200 m
• Appropriate for through-hole mounting on custom Interface boards

Peak sensitivity occurs at 685 nm which aligns with specific emitter wavelengths for optimal detection.

It uses a through-hole mount style that secures the connector directly to the PCB for mechanical stability.

The receiver accepts a duplex rectangular connector to accommodate paired Fibre connections.

Integration requires six pins to provide signal and necessary electrical interfaces.
