APA2106ZGCK

Overview

The APA2106ZGCK is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright, emitting green light with a peak wavelength of 525 nm. It features a semitube lens shape and water clear transparency within a 0805 (2012 metric) package measuring 2.1 mm in length, 0.6 mm in width, and 1 mm in height. The device operates at a forward current of 20 mA with a typical forward voltage of 3.3 V and a power rating of 75 mW. It delivers a minimum luminous intensity of 300 mcd and offers a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The component supports an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C and includes moisture sensitivity level 3 compliance.

Feature Summary

• Emits green light at a 525 nm peak wavelength with high luminous intensity
• Utilizes a semitube lens design for wide 120-degree viewing angles
• Constructed with InGaN technology on G-SiC substrate for low power consumption
• Complies with RoHS standards and handles moisture sensitivity level 3

Applications

• General indicator lighting in electronic devices
• Backlighting applications requiring compact form factors
• Status indication on control panels and circuit boards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ZGCK confirms the green color variant and 300 mcd intensity when sourcing. Confirm moisture sensitivity handling procedures are followed during assembly due to Level 3 classification. Ensure the 0805 footprint matches the target PCB layout dimensions of 2.1 mm by 0.6 mm. Cross-reference the datasheet for recommended soldering patterns to prevent thermal damage during reflow processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a standard 0805 footprint with high brightness output. The 3.3 V forward voltage suits direct drive circuits compatible with common logic levels. Consider the 120-degree viewing angle for visibility requirements. Verify thermal management capabilities within the specified -40 °C to +85 °C range for the intended environment.
