Product Overview
The XINGLIGHT XL-IRM0038C-38X is a 38 kHz infrared receiver module classified in the LED category and described as a sensor. It is supplied in an SMD epoxy resin semi-circular spherical package with 5.0 x 4.2 x 4.5 mm dimensions, MSL 3 moisture sensitivity, and REACH and RoHS certification according to the extracted datasheet facts.
Electrical use is centered on a recommended 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply range and typical 37.9 kHz input frequency. The receiver provides active-low output, with low-level output voltage specified at 0.2 V typical and 0.5 V maximum, and high-level output from VCC-0.5 V minimum to 5.0 V maximum. At no signal, VDD=5 V, and 25°C, working current is 0.15 mA minimum, 0.2 mA typical, and 0.3 mA maximum.
Assembly guidance includes a 260°C, ≤6 s absolute maximum lead soldering condition, recommended maximum reflow of 240°C for 6 s, maximum two Pb-free reflow cycles, and hand soldering below 300°C for less than 3 s per terminal. The module supports burst-coded infrared reception with minimum 10-pulse bursts, 12-pulse gaps, and a 25 ms minimum data pause for full-frame repeat code.

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