Broadcom AFBR Time-of-Flight 50 m 4.5 V 5.5V 15 Surface Mount

This time-of-flight device measures distance using a light-based ranging method and operates as a proximity sensor in industrial contexts. It is intended for PCB mounting and offers open-drain signalling for integration into detection and measurement systems. The unit functions across a controlled temperature span and accepts common low-voltage supply rails for Compact distance-sensing implementations.

• 50m sensing distance enables long-range proximity detection
• 4.5-5.5V supply range supports standard low-voltage systems
• 40mA supply current minimises power draw during operation
• Open-drain output limits Interface current to 8mA for safe signalling
• 15-pin connectivity allows multiple signal and power contacts
• REACH RoHS UL94-V0 approvals ensure material compliance and flammability rating

• Suitable for long-range object detection in factory automation
• Ideal for inventory distance monitoring in warehousing systems
• Used with low-voltage control electronics in access systems
• Can be used for safety perimeter sensing on industrial equipment
• Appropriate for retrofit distance-sensing tasks on existing boards

The device is intended for through-hole mounting which secures it on a PCB assembly.

It operates reliably between -20°C and 70°C.

The open-drain output will not exceed 2.8V in normal operation and can source or sink up to 8mA maximum.

The surface-mount designation refers to the package style while the component uses through-hole pins for mechanical retention and electrical connection.
