Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure correct binning and wavelength selection. Confirm that the requested quantity matches the standard reel packaging specifications provided by the manufacturer. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or supply limitations before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a compact 1206 footprint with blue indication capabilities. Ensure the circuit design supports the specified 3.5 V forward voltage and 20 mA operating current. Consider the 30-degree viewing angle when determining optimal board placement for visibility requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to Everlight's 11-21 series of SMD LEDs, which are characterized by their small form factor and inner lens structure. The series is engineered to replace larger lead-frame components, allowing for denser PCB layouts while maintaining consistent optical performance across various industrial and consumer electronics applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 1206 blue LEDs from Everlight such as the 11-21/G6C-AR2S2B/2T, provided the electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions are verified against the original datasheet specifications.
