APA3010SECK-GX

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Kingbright APA3010SECK-GX is a single-color surface-mount LED emitting orange light with a peak wavelength of 601 nm. It features a side-viewing configuration with a semi-tube lens shape and water-clear transparency. The component operates at a forward voltage of 2.1 V and a test current of 20 mA, delivering an optical intensity of 250 mcd. Its physical dimensions are 3 mm in length, 1 mm in width, and 1 mm in maximum height, housed in a compact SMD package suitable for dense circuit board layouts.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Side-looking orientation for visibility from panel edges
• Water-clear lens for high light transmission
• Compact 3x1mm form factor for space-constrained designs

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication on electronic devices
• Instrument panel lighting
• Consumer appliance indicators

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GX against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm material composition and compliance status. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level requirements before reflow soldering. Cross-reference the ordering code with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a side-viewing indicator is required in a low-profile design. The 250 mcd intensity provides adequate visibility for most ambient lighting conditions. Confirm that the 2.1 V forward voltage aligns with the driving circuit's output capabilities.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the APA3010 series of surface-mount LEDs manufactured by Kingbright. The series offers various color options and viewing angles within a standardized 3.0 x 1.0 mm footprint. The side-viewing variant is distinct from top-emitting models in the same family.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 3x1mm side-viewing package, 601nm orange emission, and similar electrical characteristics. Verify pinout compatibility if replacing with different manufacturers' equivalents.
