AA3528APBC/A

Overview

The AA3528APBC/A is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright, designed for electronic indication. It emits blue light with a peak wavelength of 470 nm and features a water-clear lens. The component operates at a forward current of 20 mA and has a typical forward voltage of 3.2 V. It delivers an optical intensity of 60 mcd with a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The device is housed in a 1411 (3528 metric) package measuring 3.5 mm in length, 2.8 mm in width, and 1.9 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Emits blue light at a 470 nm wavelength
• Features a water-clear lens for high transparency
• Supports standard surface-mount technology installation

Applications

• Electronic status indication
• Panel indicator lights
• Instrumentation displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm electrical tolerances and binning classifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SMD reflow soldering profiles. Check moisture sensitivity levels for proper storage handling before assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact blue indicator is required for space-constrained designs. The 1411 package offers a balance between visibility and board area efficiency. Consider the 60 mcd intensity for applications requiring moderate brightness without excessive power consumption.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's 3528 series of single-color LEDs. It shares the same physical footprint as other variants in the family but differs in semiconductor material to produce blue light. The series is widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control panels.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include AA3528QBC/D for similar blue performance or AA3528SURC for red alternatives if color change is acceptable. Verify pinout and thermal characteristics before swapping.
