12-21/Y2C-FR1S1L/2C

Overview

The 12-21/Y2C-FR1S1L/2C is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by Everlight Electronics. It emits brilliant yellow light with a peak wavelength of 590 nm and a nominal luminous intensity of 20 mcd. The device features a water-clear lens and operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C. It supports a maximum forward current of 25 mA and has a total height of 0.8 mm. Packaged in tape and reel on a 7-inch diameter, it is compatible with automatic placement equipment and standard reflow soldering processes.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount design for automated assembly
• Lead-free construction compliant with environmental standards
• Water-clear lens for optimal light transmission
• Compact rectangular package suitable for high-density PCB layouts

Applications

• Indicator lights for electronic devices
• Status indication in consumer electronics
• Instrument panel illumination
• General-purpose visual signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure correct binning and packaging configuration. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your region. Check for any product change notifications regarding material or process updates. Ensure compatibility with your manufacturing reflow profile before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile yellow indicator is required for surface-mount applications. Consider the 0.8 mm height constraint for space-limited designs. Verify thermal management needs against the 85 °C maximum operating temperature limit. Ensure the 25 mA current rating aligns with your circuit drive capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to Everlight's 12-21 series of SMD LEDs. It shares the same physical footprint and mounting characteristics as other variants in the series but differs in optical output color and intensity specifications. It is designed for high-volume production environments requiring consistent performance.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0603 package yellow LEDs from Everlight such as the 19-21/Y2C-AL1M2VY/3T, provided electrical parameters match. Cross-reference pinout and spectral distribution before substitution.
