22-21/BHC-AN1P2/2C

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Everlight 22-21/BHC-AN1P2/2C is a single-color blue surface-mount LED featuring an InGaN chip. It emits light at a peak wavelength of 470 nm with a forward voltage of 3.5 V and a typical luminous intensity of 40 mcd. The component utilizes a rectangular, water-clear lens housed in a 2-SMD package designed for right-angle viewing applications. It supports standard reflow soldering processes and complies with RoHS standards.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Right-angle lens configuration for directional visibility
• Water-clear rectangular lens design
• Compatible with infrared and vapor phase reflow soldering

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Indicator lights requiring side-view visibility
• Panel-mounted status indicators
• Consumer electronics front panels

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /2C against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm lead-free compliance and binning specifications. Ensure the right-angle package orientation matches the PCB footprint requirements. Cross-reference the Mouser part number 638-2221BHCAN1P22C for accurate availability and ordering details.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a side-emitting blue indicator is required for compact assemblies. The right-angle lens directs light perpendicular to the board surface, optimizing visibility on vertical panels. Compare the 40 mcd intensity against ambient lighting conditions to ensure adequate signal clarity without excessive power consumption.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This model belongs to the Everlight 22-21 series of SMD LEDs characterized by their unique right-angle optical structure. Unlike standard top-emitting variants, this series integrates a molded lens geometry that redirects emission toward the horizontal plane. It serves as a specialized solution for devices where space constraints prevent traditional top-facing indicator placement.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include the 22-21/BHC-AN1P2/2C variant with different intensity bins or the 22-21/GHC-YR1S2/2C yellow alternative if color change is permissible. Verify mechanical compatibility of the right-angle footprint before swapping.
