AA1608LVBS/A-295V

Overview

The AA1608LVBS/A-295V is a single-color blue surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright. It operates at a forward current of 2 mA with a typical forward voltage of 2.8 V. The device emits light at a peak wavelength of 463 nm and features a viewing angle of 120 degrees. Housed in a compact 0603 (1608 metric) package measuring 1.6 mm x 0.8 mm, it has a maximum height of 0.55 mm. The component supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and carries a Moisture Sensitivity Level of 3.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-compact 0603 footprint designed for space-constrained circuit layouts
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle for broad visibility applications
• RoHS compliant and halogen-free construction

Applications

• Backlighting systems
• Status indicators
• Smart home appliances
• Wearable devices
• Medical equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix A-295V against official datasheets to confirm binning or packaging variations. Ensure ESD protection protocols are followed during handling due to moisture sensitivity level 3 classification. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status with current regulatory requirements before final procurement approval.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile blue indicator is required within strict spatial limits. The 120-degree viewing angle suits applications needing wide dispersion. Confirm that the 2.8 V forward voltage aligns with the driving circuit's output capabilities and thermal management strategy for the target environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright AA1608 series of surface-mount LEDs. The series is characterized by its small 1.6 mm x 0.8 mm dimensions and low power consumption. It is engineered for robust performance in consumer electronics and portable devices where size and durability are critical design factors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other AA1608 series variants such as AA1608LQBS/D-295V for different wavelengths. Verify pinout compatibility and forward voltage tolerances when considering alternative manufacturers' 0603 blue LEDs.
