APHB1608SGEC

Overview

The APHB1608SGEC 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 height of 0.5 mm. It emits green light at 568 nm and red light at 625 nm through a water-clear lens. The device supports a forward current of 20 mA per color, with forward voltages of 2.0 V for green and 2.2 V for red. Rated power dissipation is 75 mW for the green element and 62.5 mW for the red element. Optical intensities are specified at 15 mcd for green and 15 mcd for red, with a viewing angle of 130 degrees. It operates between -40°C and +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-emission capability providing distinct green and red outputs within a single compact SMD footprint
• Water-clear rectangular lens design ensuring high transparency and a wide 130-degree viewing angle
• Standard 0603 package dimensions facilitating automated placement on dense printed circuit boards

Applications

• Status indication on electronic equipment panels
• Bi-state signaling in consumer appliances
• Visual alerts in portable devices requiring minimal board space

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against official Kingbright datasheets to ensure compliance with specified electrical parameters. Confirm moisture sensitivity handling requirements during storage and reflow soldering processes. Validate that the specific ordering suffix matches the required wavelength and intensity grades for your application design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-color indicator is required in a restricted 0603 area. Ensure the driving circuit can accommodate the distinct forward voltage differences between the green and red elements. Consider the 130-degree viewing angle for visibility requirements and verify thermal management capabilities within the target operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's APHB series of bi-color LEDs, designed for surface-mount technology. The series utilizes AlGaInP semiconductor materials on GaAs substrates to achieve specific spectral outputs. It is engineered for high reliability in standard industrial and commercial lighting applications requiring compact form factors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Kingbright 0603 bi-color LEDs such as APHB1608ZGKSURKC or APHB1608SGYC, provided the wavelength and intensity specifications align with the design requirements. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.
