APA2107VBC/D

Overview

The APA2107VBC/D is a single-color surface-mount LED from Kingbright, designed for indicator applications. It features a blue light emission with a peak wavelength of 470 nm and a typical forward voltage of 3.3 V. The component utilizes a 0805 (2012 metric) package with dimensions of 2.1 mm in length, 1.0 mm in width, and a maximum height of 0.6 mm. It offers a nominal luminous intensity of 200 mcd at a test current of 20 mA, with a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The device supports a maximum power dissipation of 120 mW and operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes a compact 0805 surface-mount package for efficient PCB space utilization
• Provides high-brightness blue emission suitable for visual status indication
• Features a semitube lens shape with water-clear transparency for optimized light distribution

Applications

• Electronic equipment status indicators
• Panel-mounted signal lights
• Consumer appliance control interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix D against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact binning or reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles and check moisture sensitivity levels prior to assembly. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile blue indicator is required for dense circuit layouts. The 0805 form factor balances visibility with board space constraints. Consider the 120-degree viewing angle for broad visibility requirements and verify thermal management capabilities given the 120 mW power rating during continuous operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright APA2107 series, which encompasses various colors in the 0805 SMD format. The VBC/D suffix specifically denotes the blue variant with clear lens characteristics. This series is widely used in general electronics for providing reliable visual feedback in compact devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0805 blue LEDs with similar electrical parameters such as the KPA-2106 series. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions before substitution to ensure proper fit on existing PCB footprints.
