APT1608SURCK

Overview

The Kingbright APT1608SURCK is a single-color surface-mount LED in a 0603 (1.6 mm x 0.8 mm) package. It emits Hyper Red light at a peak wavelength of 635 nm with a water clear dome lens. The device operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 1.95 V, delivering a luminous intensity of 230 mcd. It features a wide viewing angle of 120 degrees and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Hyper Red illumination via AlGaInP on GaAs substrate
• Water clear dome lens for directional light output
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle
• Low power consumption design

Applications

• Indicator lights
• Backlighting
• Electronic equipment status displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CK' corresponds to the water clear dome lens variant. Confirm moisture sensitivity level 3 handling requirements during assembly. Ensure ESD precautions are applied due to component vulnerability. Cross-reference datasheet electrical limits against circuit design parameters before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 0603 form factor is required for high-intensity red indication. The water clear lens suits applications needing focused visibility. Consider the 120-degree beam width for panel mounting needs. Verify thermal management capabilities for continuous operation near maximum ratings.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright APT1608 series of standard SMD LEDs. The series utilizes AlGaInP technology for efficient red emission. The 0603 footprint allows for dense PCB layouts in portable electronics. It is designed for automated pick-and-place manufacturing processes.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes like KPT-1608SURCK which shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Verify lens style compatibility if optical performance is critical.
