APA2106PBC/A

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Kingbright APA2106PBC/A is a single-color blue surface-mount LED featuring a water-clear lens. It operates with a forward voltage of 4V and emits light at a peak wavelength of 468nm. The component has a maximum continuous forward current rating of 30mA and a power dissipation limit of 120mW. It offers a nominal luminous intensity of 40mcd at 20mA with a wide viewing angle of 120 degrees. The device measures 2.10mm by 0.60mm with a height of 1mm, designed for standard SMT processes.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Utilizes InGaN technology for efficient blue light emission
• Features a compact 2.1x0.6mm surface-mount package
• Provides a wide 120-degree viewing angle
• Compliant with RoHS standards

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Panel indicators
• Backlighting applications
• General-purpose electronic equipment status indication

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm lens type and binning specifications. Ensure compatibility with moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and reflow soldering. Confirm that the 30mA maximum forward current aligns with the target circuit design thermal management capabilities.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile blue indicator is required for space-constrained designs. The 120-degree viewing angle makes it suitable for applications requiring broad visibility. Verify that the 4V forward voltage drop is compatible with the available drive voltage in the system architecture.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright 2106 series of surface-mount LEDs. The series includes various colors and lens configurations within the same 2.1x0.6mm footprint. The APA2106PBC/A specifically denotes the blue variant with a water-clear lens and standard mounting characteristics.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Kingbright parts from the 2106 series such as APA2106QBC/D or APA2106VBC/D, provided the color and intensity specifications meet the design requirements. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 2.1x0.6mm outline and electrical parameters.
