APT1608ZGC

Overview

The APT1608ZGC is a single-color green LED from Kingbright, housed in a 0603 (1.6 mm x 0.8 mm) surface-mount package with a water-clear rectangular lens. It emits light at a peak wavelength of 570 nm with an intensity of 40 mcd and a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The device operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.1 V, rated for 75 mW power dissipation. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Green emission at 570 nm with high visibility
• Water-clear rectangular lens for consistent light transmission
• Standard 0603 footprint for dense PCB layouts

Applications

• Indicator lights for consumer electronics
• Status indicators on portable devices
• General-purpose illumination in compact systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm optical parameters. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow profiles for moisture-sensitive devices. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before integration into regulated products.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a standard green indicator in space-constrained designs. The 120-degree viewing angle provides broad visibility. Consider thermal management requirements given the 75 mW rating and operating temperature limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's SMD LED portfolio, designed for surface-mount technology. It shares the physical dimensions of other 0603 LEDs but differs in optical output. The ZGC suffix typically denotes specific color and lens characteristics within the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with APT1608CGCK for similar green specifications. Verify lens clarity and intensity metrics against original requirements when substituting.
