AP3216ID

Overview

The AP3216ID is a single-color red LED from Kingbright, designed for surface mount technology (SMD/SMT) applications. It features a 1206 (3216 metric) package with dimensions of 3.2 mm in length, 1.6 mm in width, and 1.8 mm in height. The component emits light at a wavelength of 625 nm with a diffused lens transparency, providing a viewing angle of 60 degrees. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 20 mA, a forward voltage of 2 V, and a power rating of 105 mW. The optical intensity is specified at 12.5 mcd.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount design compatible with automated assembly processes
• Diffused lens configuration for wide beam distribution
• Standard 1206 footprint for compact circuit integration

Applications

• Indicator lights on electronic equipment panels
• Status indication in consumer electronics devices
• Backlighting or illumination in small form-factor instruments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance status directly with Kingbright or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the diffused lens specification matches the optical requirements of the target application. Ensure handling procedures account for moisture sensitivity levels as indicated in the manufacturer's packaging guidelines to prevent device degradation during storage and soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-intensity red indicator is required for general status signaling. The 60-degree viewing angle and diffused lens make it suitable for applications where direct line-of-sight visibility is not critical. Consider the 2 V forward voltage drop for power supply design. Compare against high-intensity variants if brighter illumination is needed, or different package sizes if space constraints differ.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's standard single-color SMD LED lineup, utilizing the common 1206 (3216 metric) package size. It serves as a basic optical component for simple digital or analog circuits requiring visual feedback. The product line typically includes various colors and intensities within the same physical footprint to facilitate standardized PCB layouts across different product models.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Kingbright 1206 red LEDs such as APT3216SURCK or APK3216SECK-F01, provided the optical intensity and viewing angle differences are acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.
