AM27CGCK09

Overview

The AM27CGCK09 is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright, emitting green light at a wavelength of 570 nm. It features a water-clear dome lens and delivers an optical intensity of 400 mcd. The component utilizes a T-3/4 package with dimensions of 2.21 mm in length and width, and 2.92 mm in height. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and has a forward voltage of 2.1 V.

Feature Summary

• Emits green light at 570 nm with high clarity
• Water-clear dome lens for optimized light transmission
• Compact SMD/SMT form factor for automated assembly

Applications

• Embedded system status indicators
• Industrial automation control panels
• General electronic device signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the current lifecycle status as new or obsolete before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance details through official manufacturer documentation. Ensure storage conditions account for humidity sensitivity requirements specified in the datasheet to maintain component integrity prior to soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact green indicator is required for surface-mount applications. The 570 nm wavelength provides distinct visibility. Verify that the 2.1 V forward voltage aligns with the target circuit design constraints and thermal management capabilities of the host system.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's standard single-color LED portfolio. It shares the T-3/4 package profile with other variants like AM27VGC/A09 but differs in specific optical intensity and wavelength characteristics. It serves as a specialized solution for space-constrained PCB layouts requiring reliable green illumination.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include AM27MGC03 and AM27ZGC03 from the same manufacturer family. These alternatives share identical physical dimensions and mounting styles but offer different luminous intensities and wavelengths. Verify electrical parameters match the original design requirements.
