APT1608SRCPRV

Overview

The APT1608SRCPRV is a single-color surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright, designed for indicator and backlight applications. It utilizes Gallium Aluminum Arsenide technology to emit red light at a wavelength of 640 nm. The component features a rectangular water-clear lens with a viewing angle of 120 degrees and a luminous intensity of 70 mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 1.85 V and a maximum power rating of 170 mW under standard conditions. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Gallium Aluminum Arsenide semiconductor material for efficient red light emission
• Features a wide 120-degree viewing angle for broad visibility
• Designed for low power consumption in compact SMD form factors
• Equipped with a water-clear rectangular lens for optimal light transmission

Applications

• LED status indicators
• Backlighting for electronic displays
• Panel illumination
• Consumer electronics signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PRV' against official Kingbright documentation to confirm lens type and binning specifications. Ensure compatibility with moisture sensitivity levels (MSL) during storage and reflow soldering processes. Cross-reference the datasheet for exact forward current ratings to prevent overdriving the component. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest certification records before integration into regulated products.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard red indicator with a 120-degree viewing angle is required. The 0603 package size suits space-constrained printed circuit board layouts. Consider the 1.85 V forward voltage drop for series resistor calculations in low-voltage circuits. Evaluate the 70 mcd intensity against ambient lighting conditions to ensure adequate visibility for the intended application environment.
