APHB1608QBDCGKC

Overview

The APHB1608QBDCGKC is a multi-color surface-mount LED from the Kingbright HeliColour series, featuring a blue and green dual-emitter configuration within a compact 0603 (1.6mm x 0.8mm) rectangular package. Designed for low-current applications, it operates with a forward current of 2 mA per color. The device utilizes a water-clear lens to maximize light transmission and offers a standard viewing angle suitable for panel indicators.

Feature Summary

• Dual-emitter architecture combining blue and green LEDs in a single SMD footprint
• Optimized for low-current operation to reduce power consumption in dense designs
• Water-clear rectangular lens enhances visibility and light output efficiency

Applications

• Status indication on high-density electronic circuit boards
• Low-power consumer electronics status panels
• Medical device interface lighting
• Automotive interior instrument cluster indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CGKC' against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm binning and wavelength tolerances. Ensure procurement channels provide RoHS compliance documentation. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and reflow soldering processes prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require a 0603 form factor but distinct blue and green signaling is needed. It is appropriate for designs prioritizing low forward current operation over high-intensity brightness. Consider thermal management capabilities if multiple units are densely packed on the PCB.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright HeliColour family, which focuses on reliable multi-color solutions for modern electronics. The 1608 metric package size allows for automated pick-and-place manufacturing while maintaining a small profile suitable for slim device enclosures.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Kingbright 0603 bi-color LEDs such as APHB1608LCGKSURKC or APHB1608LQBDCGKC, provided the specific color wavelengths and current ratings align with the design requirements.
