AP1608SECK

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The AP1608SECK is a single-color orange surface-mount LED from Kingbright, housed in a 0603 (1.6 mm x 0.8 mm) package with a water-clear rectangular lens. It operates at a peak wavelength of 601 nm and delivers a light intensity of 160 mcd when driven by a forward current of 20 mA. The component has a forward voltage of 2.1 V and a power rating of 75 mW. It supports a viewing angle of 120 degrees and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Emits orange light with high visibility due to a 160 mcd intensity output.
• Features a water-clear rectangular lens for consistent light transmission.
• Designed for standard surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly processes.

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indicators on electronic control panels
• Backlighting for push-button switches
• Visual signaling in consumer appliances

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SECK' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm lens transparency and binning specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for 0603 packages. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before integration into regulated assemblies.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a compact orange indicator with moderate brightness. Compare the 20 mA drive requirement and 2.1 V forward voltage against available driver circuits. Consider the 120-degree viewing angle for visibility requirements relative to alternative package sizes or colors.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's SMD LED portfolio, specifically the AP series designed for general-purpose indication. The 0603 form factor allows for dense PCB layouts compared to larger through-hole alternatives. It serves as a standard solution for visual feedback in space-constrained electronic devices.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Check for KP-1608SECK as an alias. Verify electrical parameters against other orange LEDs in the 0603 package size from Kingbright or competitors if supply constraints exist.
