IF-D96F Fiber Optic Receiver Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IF-D96F is a general-purpose fiber optic receiver manufactured by Industrial Fiber Optics, designed for 5Mbps data rate applications. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance, repairs, and new designs requiring similar functionality. The IF-D96F operates across a 4.5V to 15V supply voltage range with a minimum receivable power of -40dBm and draws 14.5 mA during operation.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IF-D96F is determined by compatibility across the following critical parameters: data rate, supply voltage range, minimum receivable power sensitivity, supply current requirements, and application category. The IF-D95OC is identified as a substitute part within the Industrial Fiber Optics fiber optic receiver product family.

The IF-D95OC operates at a lower data rate of 125kbps compared to the IF-D96F's 5Mbps specification. This represents a functional reduction in bandwidth capability. The supply voltage range of the IF-D95OC (4.5V ~ 16V) overlaps with the IF-D96F range, providing compatible power supply requirements. The IF-D95OC exhibits superior sensitivity with a minimum receivable power of -30dBm, compared to the IF-D96F's -40dBm. The IF-D95OC draws 6 mA, significantly lower than the IF-D96F's 14.5 mA consumption. Both components serve general-purpose applications and maintain compliance with environmental and trade regulations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IF-D95OC is an active product with current manufacturing status, whereas the IF-D96F is obsolete. Both components maintain identical export classification (EAR99) and REACH compliance status. The IF-D95OC meets ROHS3 compliance, representing a more current environmental standard than the IF-D96F's RoHS compliance designation. Supply voltage compatibility exists within the overlapping range of 4.5V to 15V. Selection between these components depends on application-specific data rate requirements: the IF-D96F supports 5Mbps operation, while the IF-D95OC is limited to 125kbps. The IF-D95OC offers reduced power consumption and improved receiver sensitivity, making it suitable for low-bandwidth, power-constrained applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IF-D95OC directly replace the IF-D96F in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the application data rate requirement does not exceed 125kbps. The IF-D95OC's maximum data rate of 125kbps is substantially lower than the IF-D96F's 5Mbps capability. System redesign may be necessary for applications requiring the higher bandwidth of the IF-D96F.

Q: What are the supply voltage compatibility considerations?

A: Both components operate within overlapping voltage ranges. The IF-D96F requires 4.5V to 15V, while the IF-D95OC operates from 4.5V to 16V. Power supplies designed for the IF-D96F will function with the IF-D95OC within the 4.5V to 15V window.

Q: How do the receiver sensitivity specifications compare?

A: The IF-D95OC provides -30dBm minimum receivable power, while the IF-D96F achieves -40dBm sensitivity. The IF-D96F offers 10dB greater sensitivity, enabling reception of weaker optical signals. Applications with marginal signal levels may require the IF-D96F's superior sensitivity.

Q: What is the impact of different packaging specifications?

A: The IF-D96F packaging is not specified in available documentation. The IF-D95OC is supplied in bulk packaging. Mechanical compatibility and form factor must be verified independently before component substitution.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these components?

A: Both components are REACH unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export purposes. The IF-D95OC meets ROHS3 compliance, while the IF-D96F meets RoHS compliance. ROHS3 represents a more recent environmental standard. Both components are suitable for applications requiring environmental compliance.

Q: What is the power consumption difference?

A: The IF-D95OC draws 6 mA compared to the IF-D96F's 14.5 mA, representing a 59% reduction in supply current. This difference is significant for battery-powered or power-constrained applications.
