APF3236SEEZGKQBKC

Overview

The APF3236SEEZGKQBKC is a surface-mount RGB LED from the HeliColour series, manufactured by Kingbright. It features a rectangular lens with dimensions of 2.1 mm x 2 mm and an overall package size of 3.2 mm x 3.6 mm x 1.1 mm. The component emits red light at 621 nm (140 mcd), green at 525 nm (330 mcd), and blue at 465 nm (70 mcd). Forward voltages are specified as 2.5 V for red, 4.1 V for green, and 4 V for blue, with a forward current rating of 20 mA. Power ratings vary by color: 75 mW, 102.5 mW, and 120 mW respectively. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and offers a 120-degree viewing angle.

Feature Summary

• Integrates three distinct semiconductor chips for red, green, and blue emission within a single compact SMD package.
• Utilizes a water-clear rectangular lens to provide a consistent 120-degree viewing angle.
• Designed for surface-mount technology with standardized pin spacing for automated assembly.

Applications

• Status indication in consumer electronics
• Backlighting for control panels and keypads
• Decorative lighting in portable devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix KQBKC against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm binning and wavelength tolerances. Ensure compatibility with moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profiles defined in the handling guidelines. Cross-reference the Mouser part number 604-APF3236SEEZGKQBK for accurate supply chain tracking.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile RGB solution is required for space-constrained designs. The 1.1 mm height suits applications where vertical clearance is limited. Consider the specific luminous intensity requirements for each primary color, as the green chip provides higher brightness compared to the red and blue variants.

Part Context

This device belongs to Kingbright's HeliColour family of multi-color LEDs. It shares the 3236 metric footprint with other variants in the series but differs in optical output and internal chip configuration. The part is designed to replace discrete single-color LEDs, simplifying PCB layout and reducing assembly steps for color-indicating applications.
