AP3216SGC

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Kingbright AP3216SGC is a surface-mount green light-emitting diode belonging to the KP-3216 series. It features a rectangular, colorless lens with dimensions of 2 x 1.1 mm and emits light at a peak wavelength of 568 nm. The component operates with a forward voltage of 2.2 V and delivers a luminous intensity of 12 mcd. It supports a maximum forward current of 140 mA and has a maximum power dissipation rating of 62.5 mW. The device offers a wide viewing angle of 120 degrees and is designed for surface mounting on printed circuit boards.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Utilizes a rectangular, water-clear lens design for consistent optical transmission
• Provides a wide 120-degree viewing angle suitable for broad indicator applications
• Constructed for surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly processes
• Complies with RoHS standards for restricted hazardous substances

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• General-purpose electronic equipment status indicators
• Panel-mounted visual signaling devices
• Consumer appliance operational feedback displays
• Office machine activity notification lights

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact binning parameters such as chromaticity coordinates and forward voltage ranges. Ensure that the ordering quantity aligns with standard reel packaging requirements defined by the supplier. Confirm compliance certifications required for the target market are explicitly listed in the official documentation before finalizing procurement.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard green indicator with a wide viewing angle is required for surface-mount designs. The 120-degree beam pattern ensures visibility from multiple angles without precise alignment. Consider the 2.2 V forward voltage drop for appropriate current-limiting resistor calculations in low-voltage circuits. Verify thermal management capabilities given the 62.5 mW power dissipation limit under continuous operation conditions.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the KP-3216 series of single-color LEDs manufactured by Kingbright. The series utilizes standard 3216 metric package dimensions, facilitating integration into compact PCB layouts. These components are engineered for general lighting and indication purposes rather than specialized automotive or high-reliability industrial environments.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other KP-3216 series variants such as APT3216SGC or KPTD-3216SGC if different lens shapes or viewing angles are acceptable. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility and electrical characteristics match the original design requirements before substitution.
