APHM1608VRBXF/A-5MAV

Overview

The APHM1608VRBXF/A-5MAV is a single-color blue surface-mount LED from Kingbright, housed in a compact 1608 (0603 metric) package. It features a diffused yellow lens and emits blue light with a viewing angle of 110 degrees. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 5 mA, a forward voltage of 3 V, and a power rating of 120 mW. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and has a height of 0.6 mm.

Feature Summary

• Compact 1608 SMD form factor suitable for space-constrained designs
• Diffused lens provides wide 110-degree viewing angle
• Blue emission with yellow lens housing

Applications

• Board status indicators
• Device power indicators
• Consumer electronics illumination

Procurement Notes

Verify moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements prior to reflow soldering, as the component is classified as moisture sensitive. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required lens color and emission wavelength specifications for your design. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT assembly processes given the small package dimensions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile blue indicator is required in an 0603 footprint. The 5 mA forward current offers a balance between visibility and power consumption. Consider the 110-degree viewing angle for applications requiring broad visibility rather than focused beam direction. Verify thermal management needs against the 120 mW power rating.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's Special Colors series of single-color LEDs. It utilizes InGaN material technology for blue emission. The 1608 package size is a standard industry metric equivalent to the 0603 imperial size, widely used in modern PCB layouts for miniaturized electronic devices.

Replacement Considerations

APA1606VRBXF/A-5MAV is a related right-angle variant in the 1606 package. Cross-reference datasheets for pinout compatibility and mechanical tolerance differences before substitution.
