APG1608VGC/A

Overview

The APG1608VGC/A is a single-color green surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright. It features a water-clear rectangular lens with dimensions of 1.2 mm x 0.8 mm and an overall package size of 1.6 mm in length, 0.8 mm in width, and 1.1 mm in height. The device emits light at a peak wavelength of 568 nm with a viewing angle of 120 degrees. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 2.1 V at a forward current of 20 mA, resulting in a power rating of 75 mW. The typical light intensity is 70 mcd. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Green emission with water-clear rectangular lens for optimized light transmission
• Standard 0603 (1608 metric) SMD package footprint for compact circuit integration
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle suitable for general indicator applications

Applications

• Electronic equipment status indicators
• Control panel illumination
• Consumer appliance front panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance documentation directly from Kingbright or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the moisture sensitivity level aligns with your assembly line reflow soldering profiles to prevent package damage during manufacturing processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard green indicator is required in a space-constrained 0603 footprint. Ensure the 2.1 V forward voltage drop is compatible with the driving circuit's supply voltage and current limiting requirements. Verify that the 70 mcd intensity meets visibility needs for the intended application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's APG series of single-color LEDs designed for surface-mount technology. It shares the physical 0603 package dimensions with other variants in the family but differs in optical characteristics such as color and wavelength. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy through-hole green LEDs where board space is limited.
