APA1606PBC/A

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The APA1606PBC/A is a single-color blue surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright. It utilizes InGaN technology on a SiC substrate and features a rectangular water-clear lens with dimensions of 1.2 mm x 0.6 mm. The component operates at a peak wavelength of 470 nm, delivering an optical intensity of 60 mcd under a forward current of 20 mA. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 3.2 V and a power rating of 75 mW. It offers a wide viewing angle of 110 degrees and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Utilizes InGaN on SiC light-emitting diode technology for efficient blue light generation.
• Features a rectangular water-clear lens designed for broad visibility.
• Designed for low power consumption in compact surface-mount applications.

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Backlighting for electronic displays
• Status indicators on circuit boards
• General-purpose visual signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' against the official Kingbright datasheet to confirm lens type and binning specifications. Ensure handling procedures comply with moisture sensitivity level 3 requirements. Confirm availability status as distribution channels may list discontinued or limited stock variants. Cross-reference the Mouser or RS part numbers for accurate sourcing documentation.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 0605 footprint is required for blue illumination. Consider the 110-degree viewing angle for visibility needs. Evaluate the 3.2 V forward voltage drop for driver compatibility. Compare optical intensity requirements against the standard 60 mcd output. Assess thermal management capabilities within the specified operating temperature range.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's 1.6x0.6mm SMD chip LED series. It shares physical dimensions with other colors in the APA1606 family, such as green (APA1606CGCK) and red (APA1606SURCK). The product line emphasizes low profile and high brightness for modern electronics. Similar packages include the APT1608 series with slightly different dimensions.
