APHB1608LQBDSURKC

Overview

The APHB1608LQBDSURKC is a bi-color surface-mount LED from the Kingbright HeliColour series, housed in a 1608 (0.63 x 0.31 inch) package. It features a colorless lens and emits red and blue light. The component has a rectangular lens shape with water-clear transparency. Operating parameters include a forward current of 2 mA, forward voltages of 2.1 V for red and 3.1 V for blue, and power ratings of 75 mW and 102.5 mW respectively. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-chip bi-color configuration enabling independent red and blue emission within a single compact SMD footprint.
• HeliColour series design utilizing a colorless, water-clear rectangular lens for high optical transparency.

Applications

• Status indication on electronic circuit boards
• Visual signaling in consumer electronics devices
• Instrument panel indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SURKC' against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact binning and wavelength tolerances. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for moisture-sensitive level 3 components. Confirm that the required drive current does not exceed the specified 2 mA limit to maintain reliability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-color indicator is required in a restricted 1608 space. Consider the distinct forward voltage requirements for red and blue channels during driver circuit design. Evaluate thermal management needs if continuous operation approaches the maximum rated power dissipation limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright HeliColour family, which specializes in multi-color LEDs designed for space-constrained applications. The 1608 package size allows for high-density PCB layouts while providing distinct visual outputs through separate internal chips.
