Product Overview
The XL-IRM0038C-38B is a XINGLIGHT infrared receiver module categorized under LED components. Its package is an SMD epoxy resin semi-circular spherical body with 5.0 x 5.0 x 3.5 mm dimensions and a 3.1 mm pin length, with outline dimension tolerance of ±0.25 mm unless otherwise specified.
Electrical operation is centered on a 37.9 kHz typical carrier frequency. Recommended supply voltage is 2.7 V to 5.5 V, while the absolute maximum supply voltage is 6.0 V at Ta=25°C. The output is TTL and CMOS compatible with active-low logic, with low-level output voltage up to 250 mV at Isink=2.0 mA and high-level output from 4.5 V to 5.0 V at VCC=5 V.
The receiver distance is specified as 10 m minimum and 15 m typical at 0 degrees under the stated indoor fluorescent-light test setup. At left and right 35 degrees, receive distance is 5 m minimum and 6 m typical at Ta=25°C.
Assembly and handling parameters include wave soldering at 260°C for up to 6 s, manual soldering at 300°C for 3 s, a recommended soldering maximum of 240°C for 6 s, and up to two Pb-free reflow cycles. Storage, cleaning, baking, ESD, vibration, humidity, and temperature-cycle limits are specified in the manufacturer technical datasheet.

Procurement Notes
When requesting a quote for XL-IRM0038C-38B, 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.
