AA1608VBS/A1-10MAV

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The AA1608VBS/A1-10MAV is a single-color blue surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright. It utilizes a rectangular lens with water-clear transparency and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component features a 120-degree viewing angle and is housed in a 0603 (1608 metric) package measuring 1.6 mm in length, 0.8 mm in width, and 0.25 mm in height. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 3.1 V at a test current of 10 mA, with a peak wavelength of 467 nm.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Ultra-compact 0603 form factor designed for space-constrained circuit layouts
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle for broad light distribution
• Water-clear rectangular lens enhances optical clarity
• RoHS compliant and halogen-free construction

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Backlighting for compact electronic displays
• Status indicators in smart appliances
• Wearable and portable device illumination
• Medical equipment signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Kingbright documentation to confirm electrical tolerances and binning requirements. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for 0603 packages. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to validate current manufacturing specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile blue indicator is required for dense PCB designs. The 10 mA drive current offers a balance between visibility and power efficiency. Verify that the 3.1 V forward voltage aligns with the system's logic or driver supply levels. Consider the 120-degree beam spread if wide-area illumination is necessary rather than focused pointing applications.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright AA1608 series of miniature surface-mount LEDs. The series is characterized by its small footprint and robust construction suitable for automated assembly. It shares physical dimensions with other colors in the family but differs in semiconductor material to achieve the specific blue emission spectrum.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Kingbright 0603 blue LEDs such as KPG1-1608PBC-TT-5MAV. Verify that alternative parts match the 467 nm peak wavelength and 3.1 V forward voltage to ensure circuit compatibility.
