APB3227ZGKQBDC

Overview

The APB3227ZGKQBDC is a dual-emitter surface-mount LED from Kingbright, housed in a 1210 (3225 metric) package. It features independent blue and green LEDs with a clear colorless lens. The blue emitter operates at a forward voltage of 3.3V with a typical intensity of 100 mcd and a peak wavelength of 460nm. The green emitter also has a forward voltage of 3.3V, delivering 350 mcd at a peak wavelength of 515nm. Both emitters are tested at 20mA. The component offers a 100-degree viewing angle and measures 3.20mm x 2.70mm x 1.10mm.

Feature Summary

• Dual-color configuration with independent blue and green emitters within a single compact SMD package
• Clear water-transparent lens design for optimal light transmission
• Standardized 1210 footprint suitable for automated surface-mount assembly processes

Applications

• Status indication on electronic control panels
• Multi-state signaling in industrial equipment interfaces
• Visual feedback components in consumer electronics devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ZGKQBDC against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm active status and exact optical tolerances. Check moisture sensitivity level requirements for storage and reflow soldering profiles. Ensure the ordering quantity matches the standard factory reel size of 2,000 units or cut tape availability. Confirm RoHS3 compliance documentation is available for regulatory adherence.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor is required for distinct red/green or blue/green status signaling. The identical forward voltage for both emitters simplifies circuit design by allowing shared current limiting resistors if driven similarly. Consider the 100-degree viewing angle for visibility requirements. Verify that the 3.3V forward voltage aligns with the system's logic levels or drive capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's multi-color LED portfolio, designed for space-constrained applications. The 1210 package size balances component density with adequate light output. It serves as an alternative to discrete single-color LEDs where two distinct visual indicators are needed in one location. The series supports various color combinations to meet diverse signaling standards.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Kingbright 1210 dual-color LEDs such as APB3227SURKCGKC or APBD3224LSURKZGKC, provided the pinout and electrical characteristics match. Verify that any replacement maintains the same package dimensions and lens style to ensure mechanical compatibility.
