APT1608PYW

Overview

The APT1608PYW is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright, designed for yellow illumination. It features a rectangular lens with dimensions of 1.6 mm in length and 0.8 mm in width, with a total height of 0.75 mm. The device emits light at a peak wavelength of 585 nm and provides a luminous intensity of 8 mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 2.1 V and a maximum forward current of 20 mA, resulting in a power rating of 105 mW. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and offers a viewing angle of 120 degrees.

Feature Summary

• Yellow emission with diffused lens style
• Standard 0603 (1608 metric) SMD package
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle

Applications

• Indicator lights for electronic devices
• Panel status indicators
• Consumer electronics illumination

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix PYW confirms the pure yellow color and diffused lens configuration against the official Kingbright datasheet. Ensure compatibility with standard 0603 footprint requirements on the target PCB layout. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Check moisture sensitivity handling procedures during storage and assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact yellow indicator is required for space-constrained designs. The 120-degree viewing angle suits applications needing broad visibility. Consider the 20 mA forward current limit for driver circuit design. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 85°C maximum operating temperature constraint.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's standard single-color LED series utilizing surface-mount technology. It shares the common 1608 metric package dimensions with other variants in the family, differing primarily in semiconductor material and optical output characteristics such as color and intensity.
