APA2106EC

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The APA2106EC is a single-color surface-mount LED from Kingbright, emitting red light at a wavelength of 625 nm. It features a water-clear semitube lens with dimensions of 1.7 mm x 0.6 mm and a height of 1 mm. The device has a luminous intensity of 15 mcd and a viewing angle of 120 degrees. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 2 V to 2.5 V, a forward current of 20 mA, and a power rating of 75 mW. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• High-efficiency red illumination for indicator applications
• Right-angle SMD package design for compact mounting
• Water-clear semitube lens for optimized light transmission

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Electronic equipment status indicators
• Control panel signal lights
• Consumer appliance front panels

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance status directly with Kingbright or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the right-angle orientation matches the PCB footprint requirements. Ensure thermal management aligns with the 75 mW power rating and specified operating temperature limits during integration.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, right-angle red indicator is required for space-constrained designs. Compare against other KPA-2106 variants if different colors or intensities are needed. Ensure the 20 mA forward current capability suits the driving circuit constraints and verify compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for SMD assembly.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright KPA-2106 series of 2.1x0.6mm right-angle SMD LEDs. It shares the physical form factor with other colors in the series, such as green (APA2106CGCK) and orange (APA2106SECK), allowing for consistent mechanical design across multi-color product lines while varying optical performance.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Kingbright 2.1x0.6mm right-angle red LEDs like the APA2106ECC if availability differs. Cross-brand replacements require matching the 2.1x0.6mm footprint, right-angle orientation, and similar electrical parameters (Vf ~2V, If 20mA). Verify lens shape and viewing angle compatibility for optical consistency.
