Product Overview
EL_IR204-H60 is an EVERLIGHT 3mm infrared emitting diode in the LED category. The datasheet identifies a GaAlAs chip, blue lens color, and 940 nm peak wavelength in a 3mm T-1 blue transparent plastic package with 2.54 mm lead spacing. Package dimensions use ±0.25 mm tolerance unless otherwise specified.
At IF=20mA and Ta=25°C, the diode has typical 940 nm peak wavelength, typical 45 nm spectral bandwidth, 4.0 mW/sr minimum radiant intensity, 7.0 mW/sr typical radiant intensity, and typical 50 degree view angle. Forward voltage at the same condition is 1.2 V typical and 1.5 V maximum, while reverse current is 10 µA maximum at VR=5V.
Absolute maximum ratings include 100 mA continuous forward current, 1.0 A peak forward current under pulse width ≤100µs and duty ≤1%, 5 V reverse voltage, and 150 mW power dissipation at or below 25°C free air temperature. Assembly guidance covers hand soldering, DIP soldering, isopropyl alcohol cleaning, and carton-level packing quantity.

Procurement Notes
When requesting a quote for EL_IR204-H60, 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.
