AP2012SGC

Overview

The AP2012SGC is a green surface-mount LED from the Kingbright KP-2012 series, housed in an 0805 (2.0 x 1.2 mm) package. It emits light at a peak wavelength of 568 nm with a typical luminous intensity of 12 mcd at 20 mA. The device features a forward voltage of 2.2 V and a wide viewing angle of 160 degrees. It utilizes a clear lens for optical transmission and is designed for standard surface-mount assembly processes.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-bright green emission utilizing InGaN material technology
• Wide 160-degree viewing angle for enhanced visibility
• RoHS compliant construction without halogenated flame retardants

Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Instrumentation status displays
• Portable electronic device backlighting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the official Kingbright datasheet to confirm exact binning and optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for 0805 packages. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements match project specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high brightness in a compact 0805 footprint. The 160-degree viewing angle makes it suitable for direct-line-of-sight indicators. Consider thermal management constraints as the maximum power dissipation is limited by the small package size.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright KP-2012 series of single-color SMD LEDs. The series offers various colors including red, yellow, and green in the same mechanical form factor. The AP2012SGC specifically denotes the green variant with standard intensity levels optimized for general indication purposes.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 0805 green LEDs such as those from Lite-On or Everlight if supply is constrained. Verify that replacement parts maintain identical pinout, forward voltage, and luminous intensity ranges to ensure circuit compatibility.
