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

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.

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.
