APDA1806VBC/D

Overview

The APDA1806VBC/D is a single-color blue surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright. It features a right-angle configuration with a water-clear dome lens and emits light at a peak wavelength of 460 nm. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 3.3 V at a test current of 20 mA, producing an optical intensity of 320 mcd. Its physical dimensions are 1.80 mm in length, 1.50 mm in width, and a maximum height of 0.70 mm. The device supports a standard operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Feature Summary

• Right-angle surface-mount design for vertical board mounting
• Water-clear dome lens for focused light emission
• High-intensity blue output suitable for indicator applications

Applications

• Electronic equipment status indicators
• Control panel illumination
• Medical device signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm active status, as availability may vary. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) requirements for storage and reflow soldering processes. Ensure the right-angle package orientation matches the PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-brightness blue indicator is required in a vertical orientation. Compare the 320 mcd intensity against application visibility needs. Verify that the 3.3 V forward voltage aligns with the driving circuit capabilities. Consider the 1.80 x 1.50 mm footprint for space-constrained designs requiring right-angle emission.
