APA3010QBC/D-GX

Overview

The APA3010QBC/D-GX is a single-color blue surface-mount LED from Kingbright, designed for right-angle mounting. It features a water-clear lens and emits light at a peak wavelength of 468 nm with a dominant wavelength of 470 nm. The device operates with a typical forward voltage of 3.3 V and a test current of 20 mA. It provides a luminous intensity of 90 mcd and offers a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The component measures 3.00 mm in length, 2.00 mm in width, and has a maximum height of 1.00 mm. It is housed in a 2-SMD, no-lead package suitable for automated assembly.

Feature Summary

• Right-angle surface-mount configuration for vertical PCB orientation
• Water-clear rectangular lens with dome style for uniform light distribution
• Blue emission optimized for indicator applications
• RoHS3 compliant construction

Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Instrumentation front panels
• Medical device signaling
• Consumer electronics status lights

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'GX' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm packaging details and compliance status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required binning for wavelength and intensity. Confirm that the right-angle footprint aligns with the design board layout before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical light output is required for space-constrained designs. The 120-degree viewing angle ensures visibility from multiple positions. Compare the 90 mcd intensity against application requirements; higher brightness options may be available within the same series if stronger indication is needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to the APA3010 series of 3.0mm x 1.0mm right-angle SMD LEDs. The series includes various colors such as red, green, and orange. The 'QBC' designation typically indicates blue color coding within Kingbright's nomenclature system. The 'GX' suffix denotes specific tape and reel packaging configurations.

Replacement Considerations

The APECVA3010QBC/D is listed as a discontinued alternative with similar specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions before substitution. Other Kingbright right-angle blue LEDs in the 3010 form factor may serve as functional replacements if electrical parameters match.
