SM1206URC-IL

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The SM1206URC-IL is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by Bivar Inc. It emits red light with a peak wavelength of 645 nm and features a water-clear lens. The component utilizes a standard 1206 (3216 metric) package, measuring 3.2 mm in length, 1.6 mm in width, and 1.1 mm in height. It operates at a forward current of 20 mA with a typical forward voltage of 2.1 V. The device offers a luminous intensity of 115 mcd and provides a viewing angle of 115 degrees.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Emits red light at a 645 nm peak wavelength for clear visual indication
• Features a water-clear rectangular lens to maximize light transmission
• Designed for SMD/SMT mounting on printed circuit boards
• Provides a wide 115-degree viewing angle for broad visibility

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication in electronic equipment
• Panel indicator lights for control interfaces
• Visual signaling in consumer appliances
• Power status display in portable devices

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'IL' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm any unique optical or packaging specifications distinct from the standard SM1206URC model. Ensure that the requested quantity aligns with the manufacturer's standard reel sizes or cut-tape availability requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly through the provided datasheet before finalizing procurement orders.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 1206 footprint is required for red LED applications. The 115-degree viewing angle supports visibility across wider angles compared to narrower beam LEDs. The 20 mA forward current rating is compatible with most standard logic-level driver circuits. Consider the 1.1 mm profile height for assembly clearance constraints within the target enclosure design.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Bivar's single-color LED portfolio, which focuses on surface-mount technology solutions. The SM1206 series provides standardized dimensions for easy integration into existing PCB layouts. Red LEDs in this category are commonly used for power-on indicators and alarm signals due to their high visibility and established industry recognition.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

The SM1206SRC is a similar red LED from Bivar but emits at 660 nm. The SM1206UYC emits yellow light at 592 nm. Cross-referencing datasheets is necessary to ensure wavelength and intensity requirements match the application needs before substituting.
