APHD1608LVBC/D

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The APHD1608LVBC/D is a single-color blue surface-mount LED from Kingbright, housed in a 0603 (1.6mm x 0.8mm) package with a maximum height of 0.75mm. It features a water-clear dome lens and emits light at a peak wavelength of 470nm. The component operates with a forward current of 2mA and a typical forward voltage of 2.65V, delivering an optical intensity of 45mcd. It supports a viewing angle of 100 degrees and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Features a compact 0603 SMD form factor suitable for space-constrained designs.
• Utilizes a water-clear dome lens to provide a 100-degree viewing angle.
• Designed for low-current operation at 2mA with high efficiency.

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indicators on electronic circuit boards
• Backlighting for small displays or keypads
• Panel illumination in consumer electronics

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix D against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm compliance with RoHS3 and REACH standards. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) requirements for storage and handling during assembly processes. Ensure the ordering quantity matches the available reel or cut tape packaging options provided by authorized distributors.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile blue indicator is required for dense PCB layouts. Compare the 45mcd intensity against application visibility needs. Consider the 2mA drive current for power-sensitive designs. Verify that the 0603 footprint aligns with existing schematic symbols and PCB land patterns.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the HELI-Dome series, characterized by its spherical lens design which enhances light distribution compared to flat lenses. It shares the standard 0603 metric dimensions common across various Kingbright SMD LEDs, allowing for potential mechanical compatibility with other components in the same package family, though electrical parameters differ significantly.
