📌 Product Overview
The XL-2106SURC is a compact 2.1x0.8x1.0mm surface-mount device (SMD) designed by XINGLIGHT for high-brightness red emission. 💡 It utilizes a water-clear colloid package to maximize luminous intensity while maintaining a standard footprint compatible with automated pick-and-place machinery.
This component is engineered for applications requiring stable optical performance and reliable solder joint integrity under thermal stress. 👉 With a dominant wavelength range of 615–630nm, it serves as a robust solution for status indicators and backlighting in space-constrained designs.
🔌 Typical Applications
Based on the 0805 package size and 20mA drive current, the XL-2106SURC is suitable for the following scenarios:
- PCBA & Consumer Electronics: Status indicators on motherboards and peripherals.
- Automotive Electronics: Dashboard illumination and interior signal lights (subject to AEC qualification).
- Home Appliances: Operation displays for white goods and HVAC controls.
- Traffic & Toys: 👉 Low-power visual signals and educational electronic kits.
- Beauty & Lighting: Compact indicator lights in personal care devices.
📊 Key Technical Specifications
The XL-2106SURC operates with a forward voltage (VF) range of 1.7V to 2.3V at 20mA, allowing for integration into standard 3.3V or 5V logic circuits. 💡 The luminous intensity (IV) is graded between 80 mcd and 240 mcd, ensuring brightness consistency across batches.

Note: 🔒 For soldering, lead soldering must not exceed 260°C for more than 6 seconds to prevent package delamination.
🏗️ Package, Dimensions & Assembly Notes
The XL-2106SURC features a standard 0805 footprint with precise dimensions of 2.1mm (L) x 0.55mm (W) x 1.01mm (H). This profile supports high-density placement on modern PCBs.
Soldering Guidelines:
- Process: Suitable for standard SMT reflow soldering.
- Moisture Sensitivity: Classified as MSL 3. 👉 Floor life after opening the sealed bag is limited (168 hours); baking is required if exposure limit is exceeded.
- Compatibility: EIA standard packaging format ensures compatibility with automated feeders.
🚢 Sourcing & Supply Considerations
When procuring the XL-2106SURC for mass production, consider the following to ensure supply chain stability:
- Binning Codes: Verify specific voltage (N11-x) and brightness (D2-D6) bins to match circuit design tolerances.
- Authenticity: Source exclusively from authorized XINGLIGHT distributors to avoid counterfeit components with inconsistent thermal performance.
- Lead Time: 0805 LEDs are generally high-volume commodities, but specific bin codes may have varying availability. 💡 It is advisable to hold a small buffer stock of critical bins to mitigate SMT line downtime.
❓ FAQ
Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of the XL-2106SURC?
A: The XL-2106SURC is classified as MSL 3 (Level 3). This means the component can be exposed to a factory environment (30°C/60%RH) for up to 168 hours after the moisture barrier bag is opened before it requires baking prior to reflow soldering.
Q: Can this LED be used in automotive applications?
A: While the datasheet lists "Automotive Electronics" as a product application, design engineers must verify if the specific batch meets AEC-Q102 or other automotive reliability standards required for their specific project, as standard commercial parts may not qualify for under-hood use.
Q: What is the maximum soldering temperature for manual repair?
A: For manual soldering or touch-up, the maximum temperature is 260°C with a duration of ≤6 seconds. Exceeding this time or temperature can degrade the epoxy encapsulant and damage the die bond.
Q: How should I calculate the current limiting resistor for a 5V supply?
A: With a typical forward voltage (VF) of 2.0V and a target current (IF) of 20mA, the resistance is calculated as R = (V_supply - V_LED) / I_led. For a 5V supply: (5V - 2.0V) / 0.02A = 150Ω. A standard 150Ω or 180Ω resistor is appropriate.
Q: What does the brightness grading code (e.g., D2, D6) mean?
A: The brightness code groups LEDs by luminous intensity. For example, grade "D2" ranges from 80 to 120 mcd, while "D6" covers 210 to 240 mcd. 👉 Selecting the correct grade ensures visual uniformity across an array of indicators on the same panel.
