APDA1806QBC/D

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The APDA1806QBC/D is a single-color blue surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright. It features a right-angle SMD-2 package with dimensions of 1.80 mm length, 1.50 mm width, and a maximum height of 0.70 mm. The device emits light at a peak wavelength of 460 nm and a dominant wavelength of 465 nm. It operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a typical forward voltage of 3.3 V. The optical intensity is rated at 320 mcd with a viewing angle of 25 degrees. The lens is colorless, water clear, and dome-shaped with a diameter of 0.94 mm.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Right-angle surface mount configuration for vertical board mounting
• Water clear dome lens for focused light emission
• InGaN technology for high-intensity blue output

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Electronic equipment status indicators
• Instrument panel illumination
• Control board signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS3 compliance and REACH status prior to integration. Check for moisture sensitivity level (MSL) handling requirements during storage and reflow soldering processes. Ensure the specific suffix matches the required optical and electrical specifications for the target application.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, right-angle blue indicator is required for space-constrained PCB layouts. The 25-degree viewing angle provides directional visibility compared to wide-angle alternatives. Consider the 320 mcd intensity for applications requiring moderate brightness without excessive power consumption. Verify thermal management capabilities within the -40 C to +85 C operating range.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's APDA series of right-angle LEDs. It utilizes standard InGaN chip technology common in modern blue indicators. The 2-SMD leadless package design facilitates automated pick-and-place assembly. It serves as a compact alternative to larger through-hole or flat-mount LED packages in consumer electronics and industrial control systems.
