APF3236LSEEZGKQBKC

Overview

The APF3236LSEEZGKQBKC is a low-current RGB surface-mount LED from the HeliColour series, manufactured by Kingbright. It utilizes a 1214 (3.2x3.6 mm) package with a height of 1.1 mm and a water-clear rectangular lens. The component emits red light at 621 nm, green at 525 nm, and blue at 465 nm, each with a 120-degree viewing angle. Electrical specifications include a forward current of 2 mA per color, with forward voltages of 2.1 V for red and 3.1 V for both green and blue. Optical intensities are rated at 15 mcd for red, 60 mcd for green, and 10 mcd for blue. Power ratings range from 75 mW to 120 mW across the colors.

Feature Summary

• Integrates three distinct semiconductor chips within a single compact SMD package to produce full-color output.
• Features a water-clear lens designed to maximize light transmission efficiency.
• Engineered for low-power operation suitable for battery-constrained portable devices.

Applications

• Status indication in wearable electronics
• Backlighting for compact consumer device interfaces
• Indicator lights in portable medical instruments

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix matches the required low-current variant, as standard RGB versions differ significantly in electrical parameters. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before integration. Ensure handling procedures account for moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and reflow soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when strict spatial constraints require a 1214 footprint combined with minimal power consumption. Compare optical intensity values against ambient lighting conditions to ensure visibility. Validate thermal management capabilities within the target enclosure, considering the maximum operating temperature of +85 C.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's HeliColour family of multi-color LEDs. It shares design characteristics with other low-current variants like the AAA3528LSEEZGKQBKS but differs in physical dimensions and specific optical outputs. The product line focuses on providing integrated color solutions for space-limited applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the APFA3010LSEEZGKQBKC for smaller footprints or the APF3236SEEZGQBDC for higher brightness requirements. Verify pin compatibility and spectral alignment when cross-referencing with other RGB components from different manufacturers.
