APT1608SGC

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Kingbright APT1608SGC is a single-color green surface-mount LED in a 0603 (1.6mm x 0.8mm) package. It emits light at a peak wavelength of 570nm with a water-clear lens and a 120-degree viewing angle. The component operates with a forward current of 20mA and a typical forward voltage of 2.1V, delivering an optical intensity of 40mcd. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and features a rectangular lens shape.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Ultra-thin 0.75mm height profile for compact PCB integration
• Water-clear lens design for high transparency and defined beam distribution
• Standard 0603 footprint compatible with automated SMT assembly processes

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• Status indication on electronic control panels
• Backlighting for small form-factor device interfaces
• Power supply status signaling in consumer electronics

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against the manufacturer datasheet to ensure correct lens clarity and binning. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and reflow soldering. Cross-reference the official part number alias KPT-1608SGC to avoid procurement errors from legacy naming conventions.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile green indicator is required for space-constrained designs. Compare luminous intensity and forward voltage specifications against alternative colors if visibility standards differ. Ensure the 120-degree viewing angle aligns with the intended user interface orientation and lighting requirements.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This model belongs to Kingbright's standard thin SMD chip LED series, sharing the 1608 metric footprint with other variants like the red APT1608SURCK. It represents a common solution for general-purpose discrete LED applications where minimal board area and low profile are prioritized over high-intensity output.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the Kingbright APG1608CGKC/T for similar green specifications. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics before swapping with generic 0603 green LEDs from other manufacturers.
