AA1608SESK

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The AA1608SESK is a single-color orange surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright, housed in a compact 0603 (1.6mm x 0.8mm) package with a height of 0.55mm. It emits light at a peak wavelength of 610nm with a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The component operates with a forward current of 2mA and a forward voltage of 1.85V, producing an optical intensity of 25mcd. It features a water-clear dome lens and supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Compact 0603 SMD footprint suitable for space-constrained designs
• High viewing angle for broad visibility applications
• Water-clear dome lens for optimized light transmission

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indicators in consumer electronics
• Backlighting for portable devices
• Smart home appliance control panels

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the official Kingbright datasheet to confirm exact binning and optical characteristics. Ensure handling procedures account for moisture sensitivity classification. Confirm that the ordering part number matches the required wavelength and intensity specifications for the target application.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile orange indicator is required for dense PCB layouts. Consider the 2mA drive current and 1.85V forward voltage for power budget calculations. Evaluate the 120-degree viewing angle against visibility requirements compared to narrower beam alternatives.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the AA1608 series of surface-mount LEDs, which are designed for high-density mounting on printed circuit boards. The series offers various color options within the same mechanical envelope, facilitating standardized design processes across different product variants.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Kingbright 0603 orange LEDs such as AA1608LSESK if dimensional compatibility is the primary constraint. Verify electrical parameters and spectral output before substituting with generic equivalents.
