AA3528ACGCK

Overview

The AA3528ACGCK is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright, emitting green light with a peak wavelength of 570 nm. It features a water-clear round flat lens and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 2.1 V at a test current of 20 mA, with a power rating of 75 mW. The component exhibits an optical intensity of 60 mcd and a viewing angle of 120 degrees. Its physical dimensions are 3.5 mm in length, 2.8 mm in width, and 1.9 mm in height, housed in a 1411 (3528 metric) package.

Feature Summary

• Emits green light with a 570 nm peak wavelength
• Features a water-clear round flat lens for consistent light transmission
• Designed for standard SMD/SMT assembly processes
• Operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C

Applications

• Indicator lights in electronic devices
• Backlighting applications requiring green illumination
• Panel status indicators
• General-purpose signaling in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AC' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm current production status, as this variant may be discontinued or subject to change. Ensure compatibility with moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling. Cross-reference the 60 mcd intensity specification with application needs, as other variants in the series offer different brightness levels. Confirm RoHS compliance documentation is available for regulatory adherence.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard green indicator with moderate brightness (60 mcd) is required. Compare the 2.1 V forward voltage drop with circuit design constraints. Consider the 120-degree viewing angle for visibility requirements. Evaluate the 3528 package size against PCB space limitations. Check if higher intensity variants like the AA3528CGCK (100 mcd) are more suitable for specific visibility needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's 3528 series of surface-mount LEDs, a widely used form factor in the electronics industry. The series includes various colors and intensities, such as red, yellow, and blue options. The AA3528ACGCK specifically targets green lighting applications within this standardized package family, offering consistency with other components in the same mechanical footprint.

Replacement Considerations

The AA3528CGCK is a verified alternative within the same series, offering similar specifications but with a higher optical intensity of 100 mcd compared to the 60 mcd of the AA3528ACGCK. Both share the same 3528 package dimensions and electrical characteristics, facilitating direct substitution where increased brightness is acceptable.
