APG0603SEC-TT

Overview

The APG0603SEC-TT is a surface-mount single-color LED from the Kingbright HELI-UM series, featuring a 0201 (0603 metric) package with dimensions of 0.65 x 0.35 mm and a thickness of 0.2 mm. It emits red light at a peak wavelength of 631 nm with a forward voltage of 2.4 V at a forward current of 10 mA. The device offers a luminous intensity of 35 mcd and a wide viewing angle of 140 degrees, operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-compact 0201 footprint designed for high-density surface-mount assembly
• Wide 140-degree viewing angle for broad visibility
• Low power consumption suitable for battery-operated devices
• Compatible with automated pick-and-place machinery

Applications

• Wearable electronics due to minimal profile
• Mobile device status indicators
• Compact consumer electronics backlighting
• High-density circuit board instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact optical and electrical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for 0201 components. Confirm RoHS compliance status for your region's regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints are critical, as the 0.65 x 0.35 mm size is significantly smaller than standard 0603 LEDs. Consider the 140-degree viewing angle for applications requiring wide visibility. Verify that the 10 mA forward current aligns with your system's power budget and brightness requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HELI-UM series, which utilizes InGaN technology on SiC substrates for green/white/blue or Al-GaInP on GaAs for red/orange/yellow. The series is engineered for low current operation and high reliability in miniaturized electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the same HELI-UM family with identical pinouts and dimensions. Verify that alternative parts match the 631 nm wavelength and 35 mcd intensity specifications to ensure consistent visual performance.
