APHB1608CGKSEKC

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The APHB1608CGKSEKC is a bi-color surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright, housed in a 0603 (1.6 mm x 0.8 mm) rectangular package with a water-clear lens. It emits orange light at 605 nm and green light at 574 nm. The device supports a forward current of 20 mA, with a forward voltage of 2.1 V and a power rating of 75 mW. Light intensity is specified as 250 mcd for the orange element and 50 mcd for the green element. It features a 130-degree viewing angle and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Dual-emission capability providing distinct orange and green color outputs within a single compact component
• Water-clear rectangular lens design optimized for wide-angle visibility and uniform light distribution
• Standard SMD form factor enabling automated placement and integration into space-constrained circuit boards

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication on electronic equipment panels requiring dual-state signaling
• Indicator lights for consumer appliances and home electronics
• Visual alerts in industrial control systems and instrumentation interfaces

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix CGKSEKC matches the required orange-green color combination and optical specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity handling requirements during storage and assembly. Ensure ordering documentation aligns with the manufacturer's official datasheet for the APHB1608 series to avoid substitution errors.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Choose this component when a single footprint must provide two distinct visual states without increasing board area. Compare the 130-degree viewing angle against application visibility needs. Evaluate the 2.1 V forward voltage drop for compatibility with existing drive circuits and power budget constraints relative to other bi-color options.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright’s standard bi-color LED portfolio, designed for general-purpose indicator applications. It shares the physical dimensions of the common 0603 package family but utilizes specific semiconductor materials to achieve the orange and green spectral outputs. The series is engineered for high reliability in commercial and industrial environments.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Kingbright bi-color LEDs in the 0603 package such as APHB1608ZGKSURKC or APHB1608LCGKSURKC, provided the specific wavelength and intensity requirements are met.
