APA1606CGCK

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The APA1606CGCK is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright, designed for compact electronic applications. It emits green light with a peak wavelength of 570 nm and features a water-clear lens. The device operates at a forward current of 20 mA with a forward voltage of 2.1 V, producing a luminous intensity of 60 mcd. It has a rectangular lens measuring 1.2 mm x 0.6 mm and a total height of 0.6 mm. The component supports a viewing angle of 110 degrees and functions within a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Utilizes AlGaInP on GaAs substrate technology for efficient green light emission
• Features a water-clear rectangular lens for optimized light transmission
• Complies with RoHS standards for environmental safety

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Backlighting for small displays
• Status indicators in consumer electronics
• Panel illumination in control interfaces

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version (e.g., DSAB7060 Rev V.14B) when sourcing, as specifications may be subject to change without prior notice. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) requirements for storage and handling during assembly. Ensure compatibility with standard SMD reflow soldering profiles suitable for 1606 package dimensions.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a low-profile green indicator with a 1606 footprint. Consider the 2.1 V forward voltage drop when designing drive circuits. The 110-degree viewing angle provides wide visibility. Verify that the 20 mA continuous forward current rating aligns with the system's power budget and thermal management capabilities.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's 1606 series of right-angle SMD LEDs. It shares physical dimensions with other colors in the series, such as red (APA1606SURCK) and blue variants, allowing for standardized PCB footprints across different color options while maintaining consistent mechanical integration.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

KPA-1606CGCK is an alternative designation for this component. Other green LEDs in the 1606 package from Kingbright, such as APA1606MGC, offer higher luminous intensity but may require verification of electrical parameters for direct substitution.
