AP3216EC

Overview

The AP3216EC is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright, designed for high-efficiency red light emission. It utilizes a rectangular lens with water clear transparency and emits at a peak wavelength of 625 nm. The component operates within a standard forward current of 20 mA and exhibits a forward voltage of 2 V. With a power rating of 75 mW and an optical intensity of 12 mcd, it offers a wide viewing angle of 120 degrees. The device measures 3.2 mm in length, 1.6 mm in width, and 0.75 mm in height, suitable for compact electronic assemblies.

Feature Summary

• High-efficiency red light emission optimized for indicator applications
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle for enhanced visibility
• Water clear rectangular lens design for consistent light transmission

Applications

• Electronic equipment status indicators
• Control panel signal lamps
• Consumer appliance front panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm RoHS compliance details and moisture sensitivity levels prior to ordering. Ensure that the procurement channel provides authentic Kingbright components to guarantee electrical performance consistency. Cross-reference the part number alias KPT-3216EC if sourcing from distributors utilizing alternative nomenclature systems.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile SMD form factor is required alongside broad angular visibility. The 120-degree viewing angle makes it suitable for applications where direct line-of-sight alignment is not guaranteed. Consider the 20 mA forward current requirement for driver circuit design to ensure optimal brightness without exceeding thermal limits.

Part Context

This model belongs to the Kingbright 3216 metric series, representing a standard 1206 package footprint. It is distinct from dome-lens variants like the APTD3216EC, offering a flatter profile and wider dispersion pattern. The series is widely utilized in general-purpose electronics for visual signaling.
