APHB1608SYKSURKC

Overview

The APHB1608SYKSURKC is a surface-mount bi-color LED from Kingbright, housed in a 0603 (1.6mm x 0.8mm) rectangular package with a water-clear lens. It emits yellow light at 590nm and red light at 630nm. The device features a viewing angle of 130 degrees and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Electrical characteristics include a forward current of 20mA, with forward voltages of 2V for the yellow element and 1.95V for the red element. The component is RoHS compliant and compatible with reflow soldering processes.

Feature Summary

• Dual-emission capability providing distinct yellow and red light outputs within a single compact package.
• High visibility design featuring a wide 130-degree viewing angle and water-clear lens transparency.
• Robust construction suitable for dense system designs with improved material durability and electrical reliability.

Applications

• Status indication in electronic equipment requiring dual-state signaling
• Panel indicators for consumer electronics and appliances
• Signal lights in automotive interior instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct wavelength and intensity specifications. Confirm that the required packaging format aligns with production needs, as this component is available in cut tape or reel formats. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check moisture sensitivity levels prior to storage and assembly to maintain component integrity during the manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space-constrained designs require two distinct indicator colors in a standard 0603 footprint. The wide viewing angle makes it suitable for applications where the indicator may not be directly in the user's line of sight. Consider the specific forward voltage requirements of the driving circuitry to ensure proper current limiting and optimal brightness performance for both color channels.

Part Context

This part belongs to the APHB1608 series of second-generation SMD LEDs from Kingbright. This generation offers enhanced material durability and electrical reliability compared to previous iterations. The series is designed for high-density PCB layouts, providing consistent performance across various environmental conditions while maintaining compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly techniques.

Replacement Considerations

The KPHB-1608CGKSYKC-GX is listed as an alias for this component family. Verify pinout compatibility and exact spectral output before substituting with other bi-color variants in the same package size to ensure functional equivalence in the target application.
