AFBR-S50MV68B Broadcom AFBR 30 m 4.5 V 5.5V 15 Modul

Broadcom AFBR Series Proximity Sensor, 30m Sensing Distance, 4.5V Minimum Supply Voltage - AFBR-S50MV68B

This proximity sensor is a through-hole module designed to detect objects at long range within industrial contexts. It operates from a low-voltage DC supply and provides selectable output configurations to Interface with control electronics. The device is intended for applications requiring fast switching and moderate current drive while operating across a typical industrial temperature band.

Features and Benefits:

• 30m sensing distance enables detection of distant targets
  Push-pull output supports direct drive of bipolar inputs
  Open-drain option allows easy wired-OR integration
  4.5-5.5 V supply range suits common 5 V systems
  3 kHz switching frequency permits high-speed detection
  33 mA maximum output current drives small loads

Applications

• Suitable for long-range object sensing in conveyor lines
  Ideal for 5 V control systems requiring fast switching
  Used with indicator circuits needing open-drain interfacing
  Can be used for presence detection in automated stations
  Suitable for low-power battery-assisted monitoring systems

What current draw should I budget for in power design?

The module typically consumes 40 mA during operation, so power supplies and thermal considerations should be sized accordingly.

How does the module behave at the extremes of its operating temperatures?

It is specified to operate between −20 °C and 50 °C with sensing and switching characteristics maintained within that range.

What electrical limits should Interface circuitry respect?

The device accepts a maximum supply voltage of 5.5 V and its output voltage can reach up to 2.8 V with a maximum output current of 33 mA.

What physical connection and mounting constraints exist?

The unit is supplied as a 15-pin through-hole module with a Compact footprint measuring 12.4 x 7.6 mm for board placement.
