## **AFBR-S10PS010Z and AFBR-S10PS011Z**
Point Sensor for Light Detection and Plastic Optical Fiber Connector for Point Sensor
## **Data Sheet**
## **Description**
AFBR-S10PS010Z is an optical point sensor with self-supervision functionality. The light that meets the point sensor is captured and fed into a plastic optical fiber (POF). The self-supervision functionality is achieved by an in-built coupling between two fibers. AFBR-S10PS011Z is a miniature connector used to connect a duplex POF cable to the point sensor. The special POF-based sensor design allows the system engineer to avoid any galvanic contact between the arc flash area and the detection electronics.
Both AFBR-S10PS010Z and AFBR-S10PS011Z are part of the Broadcom’s comprehensive arc flash detection portfolio. In combination with Broadcom’s sensor transceiver AFBR-S10TR001Z, they are intended to be used for the detection of arc flash events in electrical power grids.
## **Features**
- Light capturing through the translucent head of the point sensor
- Light coupling into a plastic optical fiber by means of the plastic optical fiber connector
- Optical link self-supervision supported (heartbeat signal)
- Low Halogen and RoHS compliance
- UL flammability UL94HB
- Good chemical resistance
- Operating temperature range –40°C to 85°C
- Acceptance cone exceeds 180° spherical with high homogeneity
- Suitable for 1.0/2.2-mm diameter duplex plastic optical fiber (POF)
## **Applications**
- Arc flash event detection
- Light detection

Data Sheet
## **Absolute Maximum Ratings**
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause catastrophic damage to the device. Limits apply to each parameter in isolation, all other parameters having values within the recommended operation conditions. It should not be assumed that limiting values of more than one parameter can be applied to the products at the same time. Exposure to the absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.
|**Parameter**|**Symbol**|**Min.**|**Max.**|**Unit**|**Notes**|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|Storage Temperature|TS|–40|+85|°C|a|
|Installation Temperature|Ti|0|+40|°C|a|
a. Storage and operating temperatures refer to the ranges over which the connectors can be used when not subjected to mechanical stress. Installation temperature refers to the ranges over which connectors may be installed onto the fiber and over which connectors can be connected and disconnected from the transceiver.

|Capturing Constant|Cp|1.1 × 10–8|1.8 × 10–8|—|m2|a, b|
|Insertion Loss|aT|—|13|20|dB|c|
a. Valuesmeasured with 10 m of POF duplex cable (1.0-mm core diameter, 2.2-mm jacket diameter, NA 0.5).
- b. Cp definition: The capturing properties of a point sensor are characterized by Cp, called "Capturing Constant" of the point sensor, which is defined as follows: The optical power P at the photo detector can be calculated as P = Cp × E / K
- P: Optical power on photo detector (W).
Cp: Capturing constant (m[2] )
- E: Optical power density in illuminated area (W / m[2] ), halogen lamp used as a light source.
K: Correction factor for transmission losses, calculated as: K = 10[(A × L2 / 10)] .
A: Fiber transmission loss 0.34 dB/m.
- L2: Length of fiber between illuminated area and photo detector (m).
- c. For heartbeat signal at 650 nm coupled from one fiber to the other fiber in a duplex cable.
