APA2106MGC

Overview

The Kingbright APA2106MGC is a single-color surface-mount LED emitting green light at a wavelength of 570 nm. It features a water-clear semitube lens with dimensions of 2.1 mm x 0.6 mm x 1 mm. The component operates with a forward voltage of 2.1 V and a maximum power dissipation of 75 mW. It delivers a luminous intensity of 80 mcd at a standard forward current of 20 mA, with a viewing angle of 120 degrees.

Feature Summary

• Emits green light at 570 nm with high visibility
• Utilizes a water-clear semitube lens for wide dispersion
• Designed for surface-mount technology (SMD) assembly

Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Instrumentation status displays
• Consumer electronics visual feedback

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment due to the small 0805 package size. Confirm moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profiles prior to production integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a compact green indicator with a wide viewing angle. The 2.1 V forward voltage suits low-voltage logic circuits. Consider thermal management capabilities within the 75 mW power rating limit during continuous operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright APA2106 series, which comprises 0805-sized single-color LEDs. The series offers various color options including blue, orange, and red, sharing similar physical dimensions and mounting requirements for standardized PCB layouts.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0805 green LEDs from Kingbright such as the KPA-2106MGC or APA2106SECK, provided electrical parameters match. Verify pinout orientation and lens shape differences when cross-referencing with other manufacturers' equivalent packages.
