BL-HG033-TRB

Overview

The BL-HG033-TRB is a surface-mount infrared LED manufactured by American Bright Optoelectronics Corporation. It features a 1206 (3216 metric) package with a rectangular lens shape and water-clear transparency. The component operates at a peak wavelength of 940 nm, emitting infrared light suitable for non-visible applications. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 1.6 V and a maximum forward current of 70 mA. The device has a radiation intensity of 74.63 mW/sr and a beam angle of 30 degrees. It supports a power rating of 200 mW and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Surface-mount infrared emission optimized for compact electronic designs
• Water-clear rectangular lens ensures consistent optical transmission
• High radiation intensity with narrow beam angle for directed signal application

Applications

• Infrared remote control transmitters
• Optical sensor systems requiring invisible illumination
• Security system motion detectors

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as manufacturing specifications may evolve. Confirm that the 1206 package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the 200 mW power rating during continuous operation. Check humidity sensitivity handling procedures if the component has been stored outside controlled conditions prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 940 nm infrared source is required in a small form factor. The 1206 package offers a balance between size and optical output compared to smaller SMD LEDs. Consider the 30-degree beam angle for applications needing focused IR delivery rather than wide dispersion. Verify compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for lead-free processes.

Part Context

This part belongs to the American Bright Optoelectronics Corporation discrete LED portfolio. It is designed for general-purpose infrared signaling tasks. The manufacturer specializes in optoelectronic components for consumer electronics and industrial applications. The TRB suffix typically indicates tape and reel packaging for automated assembly.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing requires matching the 940 nm wavelength, 1206 package, and electrical characteristics of similar infrared SMD LEDs from other manufacturers.
