APG0603VBC-A1-5MAV

Overview

The Kingbright APG0603VBC-A1-5MAV is a single-color blue surface-mount LED designed for compact electronic assemblies. It features a standard 0603 (1.6mm x 0.8mm) footprint with a height of approximately 0.5mm, facilitating automated placement on printed circuit boards. The component utilizes InGaN chip technology to emit blue light, typically centered around a wavelength of 470nm. It operates with a forward current of 20mA and maintains a forward voltage drop of approximately 3.0V at rated conditions. The lens is water clear to maximize luminous intensity while providing a viewing angle suitable for general indication purposes.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-compact 0603 surface-mount package design
• High brightness blue emission using InGaN technology
• Water clear lens for optimized light transmission
• Compatible with standard SMT assembly processes

Applications

• Status indicators in portable consumer electronics
• Backlighting for small form-factor displays
• Board-level status indication in industrial control systems
• Wearable device interface lighting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with Kingbright or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required binning specifications for wavelength and forward voltage. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level requirements to prevent solderability issues during reflow.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require a 0603 footprint but higher intensity than 0201 packages offers. Compare total system power consumption against the forward voltage and current ratings. Ensure the optical center alignment meets the mechanical tolerance of the application's housing or panel cutout.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's standard SMD LED portfolio, specifically within the blue emission category. It serves as a mid-size alternative between ultraminiature 0201 LEDs and larger 0805 or 1206 packages, balancing physical size with optical output performance for dense PCB layouts.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' 0603 blue SMD LEDs with identical pin configurations and electrical parameters. Verify mechanical dimensions and spectral distribution compatibility before cross-referencing with generic industry equivalents.
