HFBR-5961ALZ

HFBR-5961ALZ is a Broadcom/Avago HFBR-series optical component used for short-range infrared fiber-optic data links. It belongs to the HFBR family of fiber-optic devices designed for point-to-point communications over multimode fiber. The ALZ suffix denotes the specific package type. For exact details—wavelength, data rate, power, and electrical interface—consult the HFBR-5961ALZ datasheet from Broadcom.

Do you mean direct drop-in replacements or functional equivalents (same optical specs)? Also please confirm the exact part number (HFBR-5961ALZ vs HFBR-5961A‑LZ) and the intended link type (MM/SM, wavelength, data rate). I can then list compatible substitutes concisely.

HFBR-5961ALZ is an 8-pin opto-receiver in ALZ (SOIC-8) package. Key features include:
- 850 nm infrared receiver (photodiode + preamplifier with post-detection logic)
- TTL/CMOS-compatible output
- Single-supply operation (typical 5 V)
- Shutdown/power‑down control for low power consumption
- High sensitivity with wide dynamic range for robust links
- ESD protection on I/O pins
- Industrial temperature range (typical -40°C to +85°C)
- RoHS compliant and compact surface-mount package
Note: for exact electrical specs (sensitivity, data rate, and pinout), please refer to the official datasheet.

Manufacturer: Broadcom Inc. (the HFBR-5961ALZ was originally produced by Avago Technologies, which spun out of Agilent/Hewlett‑Packard optics and later became Broadcom after acquisition).
What kind of company: Broadcom is a multinational designer and supplier of semiconductor and optoelectronic components (a largely fabless semiconductor company) that makes networking, broadband, wireless, storage, and optical transceiver modules and related infrastructure software.

HFBR-5961ALZ is part of the HFBR fiber-optic transceiver family. Typical application areas include:
- Short-range, EMI-robust data links in industrial automation and control
- Optical interconnects between PCB/backplane components
- Medical and laboratory instrumentation requiring electrical isolation
- Automotive and consumer electronics with rugged, isolated fiber links
- Optical sensing, measurement, and test equipment
- Research and prototyping needing isolated, noise-immune fiber links
Note: always check the datasheet for wavelength, speed, and packaging specifics.

Do you mean the electrical/optical package type (e.g., TO-can, DIP, SFP, etc.) or the shipping/tape-and-reel packaging? Tell me which one and I’ll give the exact package type for HFBR-5961ALZ.
