APT1608SYC

Overview

The Kingbright APT1608SYC is a single-color surface-mount LED emitting yellow light with a peak wavelength of 588 nm. It features a water clear dome lens and operates at a forward voltage of 2 V with a maximum forward current of 20 mA. The device delivers a luminous intensity of 150 mcd and offers a viewing angle of 120 degrees. Its compact 0603 (1.6 x 0.8 mm) package has a height of 0.75 mm, supporting operation between -40°C and +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Super thin profile suitable for space-constrained designs
• Water clear dome lens for optimized light transmission
• High luminous intensity output in a standard 0603 footprint

Applications

• Status indicators on consumer electronics
• Backlighting for portable devices
• Panel illumination in industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the official datasheet to confirm lens style and binning requirements. Ensure compatibility with reflow soldering profiles specified by the manufacturer. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current documentation before integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile yellow indicator is required. The 120-degree viewing angle provides wide visibility. Verify that the 2 V forward voltage aligns with the system power supply constraints. Consider the 150 mcd brightness level for ambient lighting conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Kingbright 1608 series of super thin SMD LEDs. It utilizes InGaAlP technology on a GaAs substrate to produce yellow emission. The series is designed for high-volume manufacturing and general-purpose indication applications across various electronic sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Check KP-1608SYCK for similar specifications within the same manufacturer line. Verify dimensional tolerances and electrical characteristics against alternative suppliers before substitution.
