Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AFBR-5103TZ are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Data Rate: 100Mbps (exact match required)
• Wavelength: 1300nm (exact match required)
• Connector Type: ST (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Application Category: General Purpose (exact match required)

The substitute parts listed below maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional equivalence within the optical transceiver module category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AFBR-5803TZ (Broadcom Limited): This substitute maintains all core optical and mechanical specifications. The product status is active, ensuring ongoing availability. Voltage supply range is 3.3V and 5V, which overlaps with the original part's 5V nominal operation. RoHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1 indicate improved environmental handling characteristics compared to the original component.

AFBR-5103TZ-C (ATGBICS): This substitute maintains all core optical and mechanical specifications. The product status is active with robust inventory availability. Voltage supply is 3.3V, which differs from the original part's 4.75V to 5.25V range. RoHS compliance is confirmed. This option is suitable for applications where 3.3V operation is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes AFBR-5803TZ and AFBR-5103TZ-C suitable substitutes for the AFBR-5103TZ?

A: Both substitute parts maintain the critical parameters that define functional equivalence: 100Mbps data rate, 1300nm wavelength, ST connector, through-hole mounting, and general-purpose application category. These parameters determine optical and mechanical compatibility within the transceiver module category.

Q: How do voltage supply ranges differ between the main part and substitutes?

A: The AFBR-5103TZ operates at 4.75V to 5.25V. The AFBR-5803TZ supports both 3.3V and 5V operation, providing broader voltage compatibility. The AFBR-5103TZ-C operates at 3.3V only. System voltage requirements must be evaluated during component selection.

Q: What is the significance of product status in component selection?

A: The AFBR-5103TZ is obsolete, meaning it is no longer manufactured. The substitute parts AFBR-5803TZ and AFBR-5103TZ-C are both active products with confirmed inventory availability, ensuring reliable sourcing for current and future applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The AFBR-5103TZ packaging is unspecified. The AFBR-5803TZ is supplied in bulk packaging, while the AFBR-5103TZ-C is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection depends on application requirements and handling procedures.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: All three parts maintain REACH Unaffected status. The AFBR-5803TZ is RoHS3 compliant. The AFBR-5103TZ-C is RoHS compliant. Compliance requirements for your application should be verified during the selection process.
