AP3216SURCK

Overview

The AP3216SURCK is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright, designed for indicator applications. It features a red light emission with a peak wavelength of 635 nm and a water-clear rectangular lens. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and has a maximum forward current rating of 20 mA with a forward voltage of 1.95 V. It delivers a nominal luminous intensity of 150 mcd at a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The physical dimensions are 3.2 mm in length, 1.6 mm in width, and 0.75 mm in height, housed in a standard 1206 package.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes a water-clear rectangular lens to provide a wide 120-degree viewing angle for effective visibility.
• Constructed with high-efficiency red semiconductor materials for reliable light output.
• Designed for surface-mount technology (SMD) integration into compact electronic assemblies.

Applications

• Status indicators on consumer electronics devices
• Panel illumination for control interfaces
• Backlighting for small form-factor displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SURCK' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm lens type and binning specifications. Ensure compatibility with RoHS directives if required by your assembly standards. Confirm that the 1206 footprint matches your PCB design constraints before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile red indicator is needed for space-constrained designs. The 1206 package offers a balance between thermal management and board real estate. Consider the 20 mA forward current requirement for driver circuit design and ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +85°C range.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's 3216 metric series of surface-mount LEDs. The series provides various color options and lens configurations in a standardized 3.2 x 1.6 mm footprint. This specific model represents the red variant with a clear lens, distinct from other colors or diffused lens versions in the same family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Kingbright 3216 series red LEDs such as APT3216SURCK or APK3216SURCK, provided electrical parameters match. Verify pinout orientation and mechanical height differences when cross-referencing with other manufacturers' 1206 red LEDs.
