XL-2012SURC

The XINGLIGHT XL-2012SURC is a red surface-mount LED in a standard 2012 (0805) package with overall dimensions of 2.0 × 1.2 × 0.8 mm. It supports a maximum continuous forward current of 20 mA and has a forward voltage of 1.8 V to 2.2 V at 20 mA. The LED features a dominant wavelength of 615–630 nm and a 120° viewing angle, making it suitable for indicator lighting, instrument panels, communication products, industrial equipment, automotive electronics, medical equipment, smart home devices, and other SMT applications.

Yes. The XL-2012SURC is designed for use in a wide variety of LED indicator applications. As with all standard LEDs, it should be operated with an appropriate current-limiting resistor to ensure the forward current does not exceed the device's maximum rating of 20 mA. The datasheet also recommends using a resistor in LED drive circuits to help prevent excessive current caused by forward-voltage variation.

Long-term reliability depends largely on operating the LED within its specified electrical and environmental limits. The XL-2012SURC has a maximum continuous forward current of 20 mA and an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. The datasheet also notes that excessive heat can reduce brightness and affect color characteristics. Proper current limiting, good thermal management, and operation within the specified ratings help maximize product reliability.

The XL-2012SURC is designed for SMT automatic production and is suitable for reflow soldering. During assembly, the LED polarity should be verified, and mechanical stress should be avoided while the device is heated. For lead-free reflow soldering, the datasheet provides a reflow profile compliant with J-STD-020C, with a maximum peak temperature of 255°C (+0/-5°C). Separately, the soldering guidelines recommend a maximum welding temperature of 240 ±5°C for up to 6 seconds for the product during soldering operations. In addition, the datasheet recommends that reflow soldering should not be performed more than two times.

The XL-2012SURC combines a compact 2012 (0805) package, wide 120° viewing angle, red emission with a dominant wavelength of 615–630 nm, and compatibility with standard SMT assembly processes. According to the datasheet, it is suitable for applications including indicator lights, industrial equipment, instrument panels, communication products, automotive electronics, medical equipment, and smart home devices, making it a versatile choice for status and indication functions.
