15-21/R8C-AP1Q2B/2T

Overview

The 15-21/R8C-AP1Q2B/2T is a red surface-mount LED from Everlight Electronics, housed in a 1206 (3216 Metric) package measuring 3.20mm L x 1.50mm W. It emits at a wavelength of 638nm with a forward voltage of 2.05V and a typical luminous intensity of 78.5mcd. Designed for operation at a forward current of 20mA, this component features a top-view configuration suitable for automated placement equipment.

Feature Summary

• Top-view emission geometry for direct visibility
• Compatible with infrared and vapor soldering processes
• Supplied on an 8mm tape reel for automated assembly

Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Status indication in consumer electronics
• General-purpose visual signaling devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging quantity and reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official Everlight documentation to confirm availability and lead times prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile red indicator is required in a 1206 footprint. Consider the 638nm wavelength and 78.5mcd intensity for visibility requirements. Verify that the 2.05V forward voltage aligns with the driving circuit design constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to Everlight's 15-21 series of single-color PLCC-style LEDs. The series offers various color options and lens configurations within the same mechanical envelope, allowing for design flexibility while maintaining consistent board space requirements across different product lines.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 1206 red LEDs with similar electrical characteristics. Verify pinout compatibility and spectral output before substitution.
