APT1608QBC/G

Overview

The Kingbright APT1608QBC/G is a single-color blue surface-mount LED in a 0603 (1.6mm x 0.8mm) package. It emits light at a wavelength of 470nm with a water-clear lens. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 3.3V and a forward current of 20mA, resulting in a power rating of 120mW. The device offers a luminous intensity of 100mcd and a viewing angle of 120 degrees. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Water-clear rectangular lens for high transparency
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle
• Standard 0603 SMD footprint

Applications

• Panel indicator lighting
• Status indication on electronic devices
• Backlighting applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation to confirm optical characteristics. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation. Ensure handling procedures account for moisture sensitivity classification during storage and reflow soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard blue emission is required in a compact 0603 form factor. Consider the 3.3V forward voltage drop for circuit design. Verify that the 100mcd intensity meets visibility requirements for the intended application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's standard single-color LED portfolio. It utilizes a blue semiconductor die encapsulated in a transparent resin. The 0603 metric size allows for dense PCB placement compared to larger packages.

Replacement Considerations

APG1608QBC/D is an alternative variant with lower luminous intensity.
