12-21/BHC-AN1P2/2C

Overview

The Everlight 12-21/BHC-AN1P2/2C is a single-color blue InGaN surface-mount LED featuring a right-angle lens design. It operates at a peak wavelength of 470 nm with a forward voltage of 3.5 V and a typical luminous intensity of 28.5 mcd. The component utilizes a 2-SMD no-lead package configuration, supporting standard reflow soldering processes for automated assembly.

Feature Summary

• Right-angle lens geometry for directional light emission
• InGaN semiconductor material construction
• Lead-free compliant surface-mount packaging

Applications

• Panel indicator illumination
• Instrumentation status signaling
• Consumer electronics front panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against manufacturer documentation to confirm lens angle and binning requirements. Ensure compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles during manufacturing. Confirm availability through authorized channels as distribution status varies by region.

Selection Notes

Select this component when directional blue indication is required in space-constrained designs. The right-angle lens optimizes visibility from specific viewing angles compared to standard top-emitting variants. Verify thermal management requirements relative to the specified forward current limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 12-21 series of chip LEDs characterized by compact surface-mount footprints. The series offers various lens configurations and color options within a standardized package dimension, facilitating consistent board layout strategies across different product lines.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the EL-95-21-SURC/S530-A2-TR9 and 12-21C-BHC-ANQ-2C. Validate electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions before implementation to ensure functional equivalence.
