APT1608CGCK

Overview

The Kingbright APT1608CGCK is a single-color green surface-mount LED in a 0603 (1.6mm x 0.8mm) package. It emits light at a wavelength of 570nm with a water-clear lens. The component operates at a forward current of 20mA and a forward voltage of 2.1V, with a maximum power dissipation of 75mW. It provides an optical intensity of 40mcd and features a 120-degree viewing angle. The device functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Compact 0603 surface-mount form factor for space-constrained designs
• Water-clear rectangular lens for precise directional illumination
• High brightness output suitable for indicator applications

Applications

• Electronic equipment status indicators
• Portable device front panels
• Consumer appliance control interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CGCK' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm lens clarity and intensity binning. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for 0603 packages. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact green indicator is required with high luminous intensity. Compare the 40mcd rating against application visibility needs. Consider the 120-degree viewing angle for broad visibility requirements. Evaluate thermal management capabilities given the 75mW power dissipation limit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright APT1608 series of standard SMD LEDs. The series offers various colors and lens options in the 0603 footprint. It serves as a common solution for general-purpose signaling in modern electronics manufacturing.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0603 green LEDs from Kingbright such as KPT-1608CGCK or similar variants within the same family. Verify electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions before substitution.
