Product Overview
EL_DIR-0000512_HIR204C-V4 is an EVERLIGHT 3mm infrared emitting LED built with GaAlAs chip material and a water clear lens. It is supplied in a 3mm T-1 through-hole package with 2.54mm lead spacing, with package dimensions shown with ±0.25mm tolerance.
At IF=20mA and Ta=25°C, the device provides an 850 nm typical peak wavelength, 45 nm typical spectral bandwidth, 25° typical viewing angle, and radiant intensity of 7.8 mW/sr minimum and 17.6 mW/sr typical. Forward voltage at this condition is 1.45 V typical and 1.65 V maximum.
Absolute maximum ratings include 100 mA continuous forward current, 1.0 A peak forward current for pulse width ≤100µs and duty ≤1%, 5 V reverse voltage, and 150 mW power dissipation at or below 25°C free air temperature. The device supports operation from -40 to +85°C and storage from -40 to +100°C.
Assembly guidance includes 260°C maximum soldering temperature for ≤5 seconds, 300°C maximum hand-soldering tip temperature for 3 seconds maximum using a 30W maximum soldering iron, and a minimum 3 mm solder joint distance from the epoxy bulb.

Procurement Notes
When requesting a quote for EL_DIR-0000512_HIR204C-V4, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.
If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.
For LED and optoelectronic sourcing, brightness bin, wavelength or color temperature bin, forward voltage range, viewing angle, moisture sensitivity level and soldering process limits may affect final selection, availability and lead time.
