OPF2416 Fiber Optic Receiver - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OPF2416 is a fiber optic receiver manufactured by TT Electronics/Optek Technology, designed for general-purpose applications requiring 155Mbps data rate transmission. This component operates within a 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage range with a minimum receivable power of -7.6dBm and a supply current of 15 mA.

The OPF2416 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality, ensure design continuity, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements where original components are no longer available.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the OPF2416 is based on the following critical parameters that define functional equivalence for fiber optic receiver applications:

• Data Rate capability (155Mbps minimum requirement)
• Supply voltage compatibility (4.75V ~ 5.25V operating range)
• Minimum receivable power sensitivity (-7.6dBm or better)
• Supply current draw (15 mA baseline)
• Regulatory compliance (RoHS3, REACH status)
• Moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1)

The HFBR-2416Z from Broadcom Limited is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. This part operates at a higher data rate (160MBd) and maintains compliance with the same regulatory standards (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HFBR-2416Z is an active product from Broadcom Limited and serves as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete OPF2416. Both components maintain identical regulatory compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected) and moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1).

The HFBR-2416Z exceeds the minimum data rate requirement of the OPF2416, supporting 160MBd versus 155Mbps. However, the substitute operates at a significantly lower supply voltage (1.84V versus 4.75V ~ 5.25V) and draws substantially higher supply current (100 mA versus 15 mA). These electrical characteristic differences require circuit-level evaluation to determine suitability for specific applications.

Selection of the HFBR-2416Z should be based on compatibility with the target system's power supply architecture and current delivery capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HFBR-2416Z directly replace the OPF2416 in existing designs?

A: The HFBR-2416Z is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and meets the same regulatory compliance standards. However, the significant differences in supply voltage (1.84V versus 4.75V ~ 5.25V) and supply current (100 mA versus 15 mA) require verification of circuit compatibility before implementation.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by data rate capability, supply voltage range, minimum receivable power sensitivity, supply current requirements, and regulatory compliance status (RoHS3, REACH, MSL classification).

Q: Why does the HFBR-2416Z have different electrical specifications?

A: The HFBR-2416Z represents a different product generation from Broadcom Limited. While it maintains the same regulatory compliance and moisture sensitivity classification as the OPF2416, its electrical characteristics reflect advances in fiber optic receiver technology.

Q: Is the HFBR-2416Z currently available?

A: Yes, the HFBR-2416Z is classified as an active product with current inventory availability.

Q: What packaging is available for the HFBR-2416Z?

A: The HFBR-2416Z is supplied in bulk packaging.
