15-21VRC

Overview

The 15-21VRC is a surface-mount LED from Everlight Electronics, housed in a 1206 package with a total height of 0.8 mm. It emits high-efficiency red light at a peak wavelength of 640 nm. The component features a clear lens and is designed for single-color indication applications. It supports automatic placement equipment and is compatible with infrared and vapor phase reflow soldering processes.

Feature Summary

• Compact 1206 SMD form factor enabling smaller board size and higher packing density
• High-efficiency red emission optimized for visual indication
• Compatible with standard automated assembly and reflow soldering processes

Applications

• General use indicator lighting
• Equipment status indication
• Symbol backlighting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix variant against the official datasheet to ensure correct lens color and wavelength specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to storage and handling. Ensure the procurement channel provides original manufacturer documentation to validate authenticity and traceability.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a compact red indicator within a 1206 footprint. Consider the 0.8 mm profile for space-constrained designs. Verify thermal management requirements based on forward current limits defined in the technical data sheet for reliable long-term operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to Everlight's 15-21 series of 1206 package chip LEDs. The series is characterized by its small physical dimensions compared to lead-frame types, facilitating reduced storage space and equipment size. It serves as a discrete optical detector or indicator element within broader electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 1206 red LEDs from Everlight, such as the 15-21VRC/TR8, ensuring identical package dimensions and electrical characteristics are maintained for direct substitution.
