APGA1602SYC/KA

Overview

The Kingbright APGA1602SYC/KA is a single-color yellow surface-mount LED with dimensions of 1.6 mm x 0.2 mm. It operates at a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.05 V, producing an optical intensity of 75 mcd. The device emits light at a wavelength of 589 nm with a power rating of 48 mW. It features a rectangular lens with water-clear transparency and is housed in the Minikin-Air series.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-compact 1.6 mm x 0.2 mm footprint for dense circuit layouts
• Water-clear rectangular lens for optimized light transmission
• Designed for low-power indicator applications

Applications

• Status indicators on compact electronic devices
• Backlighting for small displays
• Portable consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix KA against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm lens transparency and binning requirements. Ensure compatibility with standard SMD reflow profiles and check moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly to prevent package damage.

Selection Notes

Select this component when board space is severely limited due to its 0201-equivalent size. Confirm that the 20 mA forward current requirement aligns with the system's drive capability. Verify that the 589 nm yellow emission meets the visual signaling standards for the intended application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Minikin-Air series, which focuses on miniaturization for modern electronics. It serves as a high-density alternative to larger 0603 LEDs, enabling thinner device profiles while maintaining reliable optical performance in constrained spaces.

Replacement Considerations

Check Kingbright datasheets for other APGA1602 variants with different colors or intensities. Verify if generic 0201 yellow LEDs meet the specific 75 mcd intensity and 2.05 V forward voltage specifications required by the design.
