17-21/R8C-AM1N2/3T

Overview

The 17-21/R8C-AM1N2/3T is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd. It utilizes an 0805 (1608 metric) package design, measuring 1.60mm in length and 0.80mm in width with a maximum height of 0.25mm. The component operates as a mono-color device compliant with RoHS standards and supports infrared reflow soldering processes. It is supplied in 8mm tape on a 7-inch diameter reel to facilitate automated placement equipment integration.

Feature Summary

• Compact 0805 surface-mount package enables smaller board size requirements compared to lead frame types.
• Compatible with automatic placement equipment for efficient manufacturing assembly.
• Supports both infrared and vapor phase reflow soldering processes.

Applications

• Indicator lighting for telephones and fax machines
• Backlighting for LCD displays
• Switch and symbol illumination

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific optical wavelength and forward voltage parameters against the official Everlight datasheet prior to procurement. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required color and bin specifications. Ensure supply chain partners provide documentation confirming RoHS compliance and REACH regulation adherence. Validate packaging details to ensure compatibility with existing SMT line equipment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 0805 footprint is required for indicator or backlight applications. Consider its compatibility with standard reflow profiles and automated pick-and-place machinery. Evaluate the monochromatic output against system visibility requirements. Ensure the physical dimensions fit within the constrained PCB area allocated for the specific circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Everlight 17-21 series of surface-mount LEDs. The series is characterized by small form factors designed to replace larger lead-frame components. These devices are engineered for high-volume consumer electronics manufacturing where space efficiency and automated assembly compatibility are critical design constraints.

Replacement Considerations
