APHD1608LQBC/D

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The APHD1608LQBC/D is a single-color blue surface-mount LED from the Kingbright HeliDome series. It features a rectangular 0603 (1.6 mm x 0.8 mm) package with a dome lens shape and water-clear transparency. The component emits light at a peak wavelength of 465 nm with an intensity of 25 mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 2.65 V and a forward current rating of 2 mA, resulting in a power rating of 75 mW. The device has a viewing angle of 100 degrees and operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Integrates a dome-shaped lens for optimized light distribution
• Utilizes a compact 0603 surface-mount form factor
• Features a water-clear lens material for high transparency

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Indicator lighting for electronic devices
• Backlighting applications requiring blue illumination
• Status indication on printed circuit boards

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /D against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and halogen-free status. Confirm moisture sensitivity classification prior to soldering processes. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact electrical parameters and lens geometry required for the design.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile blue indicator is needed in a standard 0603 footprint. The dome lens provides a wider viewing angle compared to flat lenses. Consider the 2.65 V forward voltage drop for driver circuit design. Verify that the 25 mcd intensity meets visibility requirements for the intended application environment.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright HeliDome series, which specializes in LEDs with domed lens structures. The series offers various colors in the 0603 package size. The APHD1608LQBC/D specifically addresses the need for blue illumination with enhanced optical performance due to the lens curvature.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 0603 package, blue color, and dome lens shape. Verify equivalent electrical parameters such as forward voltage and luminous intensity. Check for compatible mounting styles and thermal characteristics.
