APT1608PGW

Overview

The APT1608PGW is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright, designed for indicator applications. It features a pure green emission with a dominant wavelength of 555 nm and a typical forward voltage of 2.25 V at a test current of 20 mA. The component utilizes a 0603 (1.6 mm x 0.8 mm) package with a height of 0.75 mm and offers a viewing angle of 120 degrees. This device is currently classified as obsolete in the manufacturer's lifecycle.

Feature Summary

• Pure green light emission optimized for visual indication
• Standard 0603 surface-mount form factor for compact PCB integration
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle for broad visibility

Applications

• Electronic equipment status indicators
• Panel mount signaling devices
• Consumer appliance control interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify component availability through authorized distributors, noting that this specific part number is officially listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. Confirm compatibility with existing designs before sourcing, as end-of-life status may limit long-term supply chain stability. Cross-reference technical specifications to ensure replacement parts meet identical electrical and mechanical requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring standard green indication in space-constrained designs. Ensure circuit design accommodates the 2.25 V forward voltage drop at 20 mA operating current. Consider the 120-degree viewing angle when positioning the LED relative to the user interface. Evaluate alternative active series if long-term production continuity is required.
