IR17-21C

Everlight Elec · Infrared LED Emitters · 0805

IR17-21C from Everlight Elec, in a 0805. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 K passive Cathode (-) of the infrared emitting diode, identified by the cathode mark on the package; reverse voltage is limited to 5 V.
2 A passive Anode (+) of the infrared emitting diode; continuous forward current is limited to 65 mA and a series resistor is required for protection.
