APT1608QGW

Overview

The Kingbright APT1608QGW is a single-color green surface-mount LED in a 0603 (1.6mm x 0.8mm) package with a water-clear rectangular lens. It emits at 568 nm with a luminous intensity of 20 mcd. The component operates at a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.2 V, rated for 105 mW power dissipation. It features a 120-degree viewing angle and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Compact 0603 SMD form factor suitable for dense circuit layouts
• Water-clear rectangular lens provides uniform light distribution
• High reliability construction designed for automated assembly processes

Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Backlighting for small displays
• Status indication in portable electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the APT1608QGW to confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity classification prior to procurement. Ensure that the ordering suffix matches the required packaging format, such as cut tape or reel, as specified by the manufacturer's official documentation for this part number.

Selection Notes

Select the APT1608QGW when a standard green wavelength near 568 nm is required for visual signaling. Its low profile and high brightness relative to size make it appropriate for applications where space is constrained. Confirm that the 2.2V forward voltage aligns with the driving circuit's output capabilities.

Part Context

This component belongs to Kingbright's second-generation SMD LED series, which emphasizes improved material durability and electrical reliability compared to previous iterations. The 0603 footprint is a standard industry size, allowing compatibility with existing PCB footprints designed for similar discrete LEDs.
