APA2106VBC/D

LED Indication - Discrete 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.

LED Indication - Discrete 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

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Electronic status indicators
• Backlighting applications
• Panel indicator lights

LED Indication - Discrete 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.

LED Indication - Discrete 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.

LED Indication - Discrete 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.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

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