Product Overview
XL-IRM0038C-38B is a XINGLIGHT SMD infrared receiver module classified under the LED category. The device 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 an outline dimension tolerance of +/-0.25 mm unless otherwise specified.
Electrical operation is centered on a 37.9 kHz typical carrier frequency and 6 kHz typical BPF width. Recommended supply voltage is 2.7 V minimum to 5.5 V maximum, while the absolute maximum supply voltage is 6.0 V at Ta=25°C. Working current is specified as 0.3 mA minimum, 0.4 mA typical, and 0.5 mA maximum at VDD=5 V and Ta=25°C.
Optical receiving performance includes 10 m minimum and 15 m typical receive distance at 0 degrees, and 5 m minimum and 6 m typical at both left 35 degrees and right 35 degrees. Assembly guidance includes wave soldering at 260°C for up to 6 s, manual welding at 300°C for 3 s, and a recommended maximum Pb-free reflow condition of 240°C for 6 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.
