Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AFBR-5205PZ is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Data Rate: 155Mbps (mandatory match)
• Wavelength: 1310nm or 1300nm (within acceptable optical range for this application class)
• Connector Type: SC (mandatory match for mechanical compatibility)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (mandatory match for PCB integration)
• Voltage Supply Range: Must be compatible with system power delivery

The AFBR-5205PZ-C meets these substitution criteria, maintaining identical data rate, connector type, and mounting configuration while operating within compatible wavelength and voltage specifications for general-purpose transceiver applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AFBR-5205PZ-C qualifies as a functional substitute based on matching data rate (155Mbps), connector type (SC), and mounting configuration (Through Hole). The substitute maintains Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support compared to the Obsolete AFBR-5205PZ.

The AFBR-5205PZ-C carries RoHS Compliance certification, providing environmental regulatory alignment for new designs and system upgrades. Both components maintain REACH Unaffected status.

A critical design consideration exists regarding voltage supply specifications: the AFBR-5205PZ operates at 4.75V–5.25V, while the AFBR-5205PZ-C operates at 3.3V. System power architecture must accommodate this voltage differential during substitution planning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AFBR-5205PZ-C directly replace the AFBR-5205PZ in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement requires verification of system power supply compatibility. The substitute operates at 3.3V versus the original 4.75V–5.25V specification. Mechanical compatibility (SC connector, through-hole mounting) is confirmed.

Q: What wavelength difference exists between these parts?

A: The AFBR-5205PZ operates at 1310nm, while the AFBR-5205PZ-C operates at 1300nm. Both wavelengths fall within the standard 1300nm window for long-wavelength optical transceiver applications.

Q: Why is the original part listed as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the AFBR-5205PZ is no longer manufactured by Broadcom Limited. The AFBR-5205PZ-C, maintained in Active status by ATGBICS, provides continued availability for equivalent functionality.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The AFBR-5205PZ packaging is unspecified in available documentation. The AFBR-5205PZ-C is supplied in Tray packaging.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute?

A: The AFBR-5205PZ-C is RoHS Compliant and maintains REACH Unaffected status, aligning with current environmental and regulatory requirements.
