APT1608SEC/J3-PRV

Overview

The Kingbright APT1608SEC/J3-PRV is a single-color surface-mount LED emitting red light at a peak wavelength of 625 nm. It features a rectangular lens with water clear transparency and a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The component operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.2 V, delivering a minimum luminous intensity of 900 mcd. Rated power dissipation is 84 mW. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a 0603 (1608 metric) package.

Feature Summary

• High luminous intensity output for visible indication
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle for broad visibility
• Water clear rectangular lens design
• Standard 0603 surface-mount form factor

Applications

• Status indicators on electronic circuit boards
• Panel illumination for consumer devices
• Visual signaling in industrial control systems
• Backlighting applications requiring high brightness

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix J3-PRV against the official Kingbright datasheet to confirm binning codes and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for SMD components. Check moisture sensitivity levels prior to assembly to prevent damage during manufacturing processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high brightness is required in a compact 0603 footprint. The 625 nm wavelength provides distinct red visibility. Consider the 2.2 V forward voltage drop for circuit design. The wide viewing angle suits applications needing broad signal coverage rather than focused beams.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright APT1608 series of single-color LEDs. The series offers various colors and intensities in a standardized 1.6 mm x 0.8 mm package. This specific model emphasizes high radiant intensity compared to standard variants in the same physical envelope.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Kingbright 0603 red LEDs with similar intensity ratings, such as the APT1608SEC without the PRV suffix if packaging differs. Cross-reference electrical parameters like Vf and If before substitution.
