APT1608PBC/A

Overview

The Kingbright APT1608PBC/A is a single-color blue surface-mount LED in a 1608 (0603) package. It emits at a peak wavelength of 470 nm with a water clear rectangular lens. The device operates at a forward current of 20 mA, delivering an optical intensity of 60 mcd and a forward voltage of 3.2 V. It features a 120-degree viewing angle and measures 1.6 mm x 0.8 mm x 0.75 mm. Rated for operation between -40°C and +85°C, it complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes InGaN on SiC technology for stable blue light emission
• Provides a wide 120-degree viewing angle for broad visibility
• Features low power consumption suitable for dense circuit designs
• Encapsulated in a water-clear rectangular lens for optimal light transmission

Applications

• Backlighting for electronic displays
• Status indicators on control panels
• Indicator lights for consumer electronics
• Visual signaling in compact devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm exact optical and electrical characteristics. Confirm moisture sensitivity level requirements and handling precautions during assembly. Ensure compatibility with standard SMD reflow profiles and check for any regional distribution restrictions or end-of-life status updates prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard blue indicator is required in a 1608 footprint. Consider the 20 mA drive current and 3.2 V forward voltage for driver circuit design. Evaluate the 60 mcd intensity against ambient lighting conditions. Verify that the 120-degree viewing angle meets the visibility requirements of the target application enclosure.

Part Context
