APHB1608SGYC

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The APHB1608SGYC is a bi-color surface-mount LED from Kingbright, housed in a 0603 (1.6mm x 0.8mm) rectangular package with a height of 0.5mm. It emits green light at 568 nm and yellow light at 588 nm through a water-clear lens. The component supports a forward current of 20 mA, with forward voltages of 2.1 V for the green segment and 2.2 V for the yellow segment. Luminous intensity is rated at 60 mcd for green and 9 mcd for yellow, with power ratings of 75 mW and 62.5 mW respectively. 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-chip bi-color configuration enabling independent green and yellow emission within a compact SMD footprint
• Water-clear lens design providing high transparency and a wide 130-degree viewing angle for optimal visibility
• High-temperature capability supporting reliable operation in environments up to +85°C

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication in dense electronic systems requiring multi-state signaling
• Control panels and user interface devices needing distinct color feedback
• Automotive interior instrumentation and indicator clusters

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix SGYC against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm wavelength and intensity tolerances. Ensure PCB layout accounts for the 0603 footprint dimensions and reflow soldering profiles compatible with moisture sensitivity levels. Cross-reference thermal management requirements given the 62.5 mW and 75 mW power ratings during continuous operation.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when space-constrained designs require two distinct colors in a single 0603 package. Consider the specific luminous intensity requirements, noting the significant difference between the 60 mcd green and 9 mcd yellow outputs. Verify that the 20 mA forward current aligns with system power budget constraints and that the operating temperature range meets environmental specifications.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the APHB series of second-generation SMD LEDs by Kingbright, designed for improved material durability and electrical reliability. The series targets applications demanding robust performance in high-density circuit layouts. The 0603 form factor allows for automated placement and efficient board real estate utilization compared to larger discrete indicators.
