APT1608MGC

Overview

The Kingbright APT1608MGC is a single-color green surface-mount LED in a 0603 (1.6 mm x 0.8 mm) package. It emits at a peak wavelength of 570 nm with a water-clear rectangular lens. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 2.1 V and a maximum forward current of 20 mA, resulting in a power rating of 75 mW. The component offers a luminous intensity of 70 mcd and a viewing angle of 120 degrees. It operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• Compact 0603 form factor suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts
• Water-clear lens provides high light transmission efficiency
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle ensures broad visibility

Applications

• Indicator lights on electronic devices
• Backlighting for displays and keypads
• Status indication in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and manufacturer part number against official Kingbright documentation to ensure correct wavelength and binning. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the latest datasheet. Check humidity sensitivity handling requirements during storage and reflow soldering processes to prevent moisture-induced damage.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard green indicator is required in a 0603 footprint. Ensure the driving circuit supports the 2.1 V forward voltage drop at 20 mA. Consider the 75 mW power dissipation limit for thermal management. Verify that the 570 nm emission matches the system's optical visibility requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright APT1608 series of single-color LEDs. The series utilizes a standard 0603 metric package size. Other variants in the series offer different colors such as blue or red, and infrared options like the APTD1608F3C. The MGC suffix specifically denotes the green color variant with defined optical characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 0603 green LEDs from Kingbright, such as KP-1608MGC, provided pinout and electrical parameters match. Cross-brand replacements require verification of forward voltage, current ratings, and physical dimensions to ensure compatibility with existing footprints.
