12-21SRC/TR8

Overview

The 12-21SRC/TR8 is a surface-mount infrared emitting diode manufactured by Everlight Electronics. It utilizes an AlGaInP semiconductor material to produce hyper-red light at a peak wavelength of 624 nm. The component features a right-angle lens design and is housed in a miniature 2-SMD package molded with water-clear plastic. It is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly processes.

Feature Summary

• Right-angle lens configuration for directional emission
• Miniature SMD package construction
• Water-clear plastic molding

Applications

• Infrared data communication devices
• Optical sensor systems
• Consumer electronics optical interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and electrical characteristics directly from Everlight Electronics before procurement. Confirm that the right-angle orientation matches the PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the reel quantity aligns with production needs, as availability may vary by region.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, right-angle infrared emitter is required for space-constrained designs. The 624 nm peak wavelength is suitable for applications requiring hyper-red output. Verify compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles and ensure the 2-SMD form factor fits the designated board area.

Part Context

This part belongs to Everlight's line of miniature surface-mount infrared LEDs. It is designed for high-volume manufacturing environments where consistent optical performance and small footprint are critical. The right-angle design distinguishes it from top-emitting variants in the same series.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Everlight official documentation for direct substitutes. Cross-reference with other AlGaInP-based right-angle IR LEDs if supply constraints exist, ensuring identical wavelength and package dimensions.
