APFA3010LSEKJ3ZGKQBC

Overview

The Kingbright APFA3010LSEKJ3ZGKQBC is a low-current RGB surface-mount LED from the HeliColour series. It features a semitube lens with water-clear transparency and a 150-degree viewing angle. The component measures 3.0 mm in length, 2.0 mm in width, and 1.5 mm in height. Electrical parameters include forward voltages of 1.8 V (Red), 2.65 V (Green), and 2.65 V (Blue) at a 2 mA forward current. Optical outputs are 40 mcd (Red, 625 nm), 60 mcd (Green, 525 nm), and 10 mcd (Blue, 465 nm). Power ratings are 84 mW, 102.5 mW, and 120 mW respectively.

Feature Summary

• Integrates Red, Green, and Blue emitters within a compact 3.0x1.0mm SMD package for space-constrained designs.
• Features a semitube lens shape providing a wide 150-degree viewing angle for broad visibility.
• Designed for low-power operation with a specified forward current of 2 mA per channel.

Applications

• Status indication in portable consumer electronics
• Backlighting for small form-factor displays
• Decorative lighting in compact devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix KQBC against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm binning and optical tolerances. Ensure ESD precautions are followed during handling due to moisture sensitivity level requirements. Confirm that the 2 mA operating current aligns with system power budget constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when low current consumption is critical for battery-operated applications. The 150-degree viewing angle suits applications requiring wide visibility. Compare optical intensity values against ambient light conditions to ensure adequate brightness. Verify compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for SMD-4 packages.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright HeliColour series, which focuses on multi-color LEDs for dense system designs. The 3010 package size allows for high-density PCB layouts. It serves as an alternative to larger through-hole RGB LEDs where space and power efficiency are primary design drivers.

Replacement Considerations

APFA3010SEKJ3ZGKQBKC offers similar RGB functionality but operates at 20 mA with higher intensity. APFA3011-AK13/F provides RGB output in an SMD-6 package with different electrical characteristics. Verify pinout and thermal requirements when substituting.

FAQ

What is the peak wavelength for the green emitter?

The peak wavelength for the green emitter is 525 nm.

Does this component support direct drive at 20 mA?

No, the specified forward current is 2 mA. Operating at 20 mA may exceed the rated power dissipation.
