APA1606SGC

Overview

The APA1606SGC is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright, emitting emerald green light at a peak wavelength of 565 nm. It features a rectangular lens with water-clear transparency and a viewing angle of 110 degrees. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 20 mA, a forward voltage of 2.2 V, and a power rating of 62.5 mW. Luminous intensity ranges from 12 to 15 mcd. The package dimensions are 1.6 mm in length, 0.6 mm in width, and 0.6 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Emits emerald green light with high visibility for indicator applications
• Features a water-clear rectangular lens for consistent light transmission
• Designed for surface-mount technology with a compact profile

Applications

• Electronic device status indicators
• Panel illumination for control interfaces
• Backlighting for small displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific luminous intensity bin (12 mcd or 15 mcd) required for the application, as datasheets may list variations. Confirm moisture sensitivity level requirements for reflow soldering processes. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the exact lens color and wavelength specifications needed. Check RoHS compliance documentation for regulatory adherence. Validate thermal management capabilities against the maximum operating temperature of +85°C.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile green indicator is needed for space-constrained designs. Consider the 110-degree viewing angle for broad visibility requirements. Evaluate the 20 mA forward current against available drive circuitry. Compare the 2.2 V forward voltage drop with system power supply constraints. Assess the mechanical stability of the SMD package for automated assembly lines.
