APHHS1005CGCK

Overview

The APHHS1005CGCK is a single-color green surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright. It utilizes an AlGaInP on GaAs substrate to emit light at a peak wavelength of 574 nm, with a dominant wavelength of 570 nm. The component features a water-clear lens and operates with a typical forward voltage of 1.9 V at a test current of 2 mA. It provides a nominal luminous intensity of 60 mcd with a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The device is housed in a compact 0402 (1005 metric) package, measuring 1.0 mm in length, 0.5 mm in width, and 0.6 mm in maximum height.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes AlGaInP on GaAs substrate technology for efficient green light emission
• Features a rectangular lens with a flat top design and water-clear transparency
• Offers a wide 120-degree viewing angle for broad visibility
• Designed for surface-mount installation in compact electronic assemblies

Applications

• Backlighting applications
• General indicator lighting
• Portable electronic devices requiring small form factors

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CGCK' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact optical and electrical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with RoHS3 compliance requirements if mandated by your project specifications. Confirm moisture sensitivity level 3 handling procedures are followed during storage and assembly to prevent damage from humidity exposure.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile 0402 footprint is required for green indication. Consider the 1.9 V forward voltage drop for circuit design calculations. The 120-degree viewing angle makes it suitable for applications requiring wide-angle visibility rather than focused beams. Verify that the 60 mcd intensity meets the visibility requirements of the intended enclosure or environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright APHHS1005 series of single-color LEDs. The series includes various color options and lens configurations within the same 0402 mechanical outline. The 'C' typically denotes the green color variant, while 'GCK' specifies the lens type and packaging configuration. This series is designed for high-density PCB mounting in consumer electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Kingbright 0402 green LEDs such as APHHS1005LCGCK or APHS1005CGCK, provided their electrical parameters match the design requirements. Verify pinout orientation and forward voltage tolerances before substitution. Cross-reference with distributor databases for equivalent parts from other manufacturers ensuring identical package dimensions and spectral characteristics.
