APT1608SGD3

Overview

The APT1608SGD3 is a surface-mount LED from Kingbright, housed in a 0603 (1608 metric) package. It emits green light with a peak wavelength of 568 nm and features a diffused lens style. The component has a viewing angle of 120 degrees and a luminous intensity of 8 mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 2.2 V at a forward current of 20 mA. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Super bright green emission with a 568 nm peak wavelength
• Diffused lens design for wide 120-degree viewing angle
• Compact 0603 surface-mount form factor

Applications

• General indicator lighting
• Status indication on electronic devices
• Panel illumination

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance status directly with Kingbright or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the 0603 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements. Ensure thermal management considerations align with the specified operating temperature range during integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact green indicator is required for space-constrained designs. The 120-degree viewing angle provides broad visibility compared to narrower beam options. Verify that the 2.2 V forward voltage is compatible with the driving circuit's logic levels and current limiting resistors.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's SGD3 series of super bright SMD LEDs. The series utilizes advanced semiconductor materials to achieve high brightness in small packages. The 0603 size allows for high-density mounting on printed circuit boards, supporting modern miniaturization trends in consumer electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 0603 green LEDs from Kingbright such as the APT1608SGC, provided electrical parameters like forward voltage and luminous intensity are compatible. Verify pinout compatibility and spectral distribution differences before substitution.
