Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LTE-C216R-14 are evaluated based on the following allowed parameters:

• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount form factor
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Type: Infrared (IR) Emitter
• Current - DC Forward (If) (Max): Compatible with 60mA or higher rating
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Typ): Within acceptable operating range
• Operating Temperature: Minimum -25°C or lower; maximum 85°C or higher
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Product Status: Active

The IR15-21C/TR8 meets these substitution criteria as a 1206 surface mount IR emitter with Active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LTE-C216R-14 and IR15-21C/TR8 are Active product status components with ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific wavelength requirements and operating temperature constraints. The LTE-C216R-14 operates across -40°C to 85°C, while the IR15-21C/TR8 operates across -25°C to 85°C. The IR15-21C/TR8 features a wider viewing angle (160° versus 75°) and operates at lower forward voltage (1.2V versus 1.6V). Both components are packaged in 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount form factor and support equivalent current ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IR15-21C/TR8 directly replace the LTE-C216R-14?

A: Direct replacement depends on wavelength requirements. The LTE-C216R-14 emits at 850nm while the IR15-21C/TR8 emits at 940nm. Both are 1206 surface mount packages with compatible current and voltage ratings. Application-specific wavelength compatibility must be confirmed.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: Primary differences include wavelength (850nm versus 940nm), forward voltage (1.6V versus 1.2V), viewing angle (75° versus 160°), and minimum operating temperature (-40°C versus -25°C). Both share identical package form factor and mounting type.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both the LTE-C216R-14 and IR15-21C/TR8 are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level difference?

A: The LTE-C216R-14 has MSL 1 (Unlimited), while the IR15-21C/TR8 has MSL 3 (168 Hours). This affects storage and handling requirements prior to soldering.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in all applications?

A: Interchangeability is limited to applications where 850nm and 940nm wavelengths are functionally equivalent. Operating temperature range differences must also be evaluated for specific application requirements.
