Product Overview
The XL-IRM0038C-38B is a XINGLIGHT infrared remote control receiver sensor listed in the LED category. It uses an SMD epoxy resin semi-spherical package with a 5.0 x 5.0 x 3.5 mm body and 3.1 mm lead length, with outline dimension tolerance of +/-0.25 mm and tape/reel dimension tolerance of +/-0.1 mm.
Electrical operation is defined around a 2.7 V to 5.5 V operating voltage range and a 37.9 kHz typical carrier frequency. At VDD=5 V and Ta=25°C, working current is specified as 0.3 mA minimum, 0.4 mA typical, and 0.5 mA maximum. The output is TTL and CMOS compatible with active-low logic, with 250 mV maximum low-level output at 2.0 mA sink current.
Reception data includes 10 m minimum and 15 m typical receive distance at 0 degrees, plus 5 m minimum and 6 m typical at left and right 35 degrees. Assembly guidance covers 240°C for 6 s Pb-free reflow peak, two maximum reflow cycles, 260°C wave soldering for up to 6 s, and hand soldering below 300°C for less than 3 s.

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.
