APA2106VBC/D

Overview

The Kingbright APA2106VBC/D is a single-color blue surface-mount LED in the 2106 series. It features a water-clear semi-tube lens with dimensions of 1.7 mm x 0.5 mm. The device operates at a forward voltage of 3.3 V and emits light at a peak wavelength of 470 nm. It delivers a minimum luminous intensity of 200 mcd at 20 mA, with a maximum continuous forward current of 20 mA. The component has a power rating of 120 mW, a viewing angle of 120 degrees, and an operating temperature range from -40 °C to 85 °C.

Feature Summary

• High brightness output of 200 mcd for clear visibility
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle for broad illumination coverage
• Compact 2106 surface-mount package design

Applications

• Electronic status indicators
• Backlighting applications
• Panel indicator lights

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'D' against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure RoHS compliance documentation is available for regulatory requirements. Confirm moisture sensitivity level classification prior to storage and handling procedures.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high luminous intensity is required within a compact footprint. The 120-degree viewing angle suits applications needing wide dispersion. Verify thermal management capabilities as the 120 mW power dissipation requires adequate PCB heat sinking for sustained operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright KPA-2106 and APA2106 families of surface-mount LEDs. These components are designed for general-purpose indication and backlighting. The series offers various color options and lens types within the same mechanical envelope.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include APA2106QBC/D for different intensity variants. Cross-reference KPA-2106VBC-D for equivalent specifications from the same manufacturer line.
