• Backlighting applications requiring compact form factors

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure correct binning and wavelength selection. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before integration. Check for lead-free certification requirements applicable to your manufacturing region. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 1206 footprint is required for blue illumination. Consider the 40 mcd intensity for visibility needs in ambient lighting conditions. Evaluate the 3.3 V forward voltage against available drive circuits. Verify mechanical compatibility with existing PCB land patterns.

Part Context

This part belongs to Everlight's 11-21 series of SMD LEDs. The series utilizes a chip-on-board technology suitable for high-density mounting. It represents a transition from traditional lead-frame types to more compact solutions. The 1206 package allows for reduced board space compared to larger packages.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 1206 blue LEDs with similar 470 nm wavelength and 40 mcd intensity. Verify pinout compatibility and forward voltage tolerance before substitution. Check if alternative manufacturers offer equivalent inner lens designs.
