11-21SRC/TR8

Overview

The 11-21SRC/TR8 is an infrared emitting diode manufactured by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd. It operates at a peak wavelength of 940 nm and utilizes a surface-mount device (SMD) package configuration suitable for automated assembly processes. The component is supplied in a reel format, facilitating integration into high-volume manufacturing lines for optical data communication applications.

Feature Summary

• Emits infrared light at a 940 nm peak wavelength
• Designed for surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly
• Supplied in tape-and-reel packaging for automated handling

Applications

• Infrared data communication systems
• Optical sensor emitters
• Remote control transmitters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and packaging details against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to ensure compatibility with your assembly process. Confirm availability status as supply conditions may vary by region and distributor. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to moisture sensitivity classification.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact infrared emitter is required for SMD-based designs. Consider the 940 nm wavelength for standard IR receiver compatibility. Evaluate board space constraints as the SMD package allows for smaller footprint compared to lead-frame types.

Part Context

This part belongs to Everlight's line of infrared LEDs designed for data communications. It is part of a family of components that includes variants like the 11-21SURC/S530-A2/TR8, sharing similar form factors but potentially differing in lens or spectral characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as the 11-21SURC/S530-A2/TR8 from the same manufacturer. Verify pinout and dimensional compatibility before substituting with other brands.
