APT2012CGCK

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The APT2012CGCK is a single-color green surface-mount LED manufactured by Kingbright. It emits light at a peak wavelength of 570 nm with a water-clear lens. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 2.1 V and a maximum rating of 2.5 V. It features a rectangular lens shape and measures 2.0 mm in length and 1.25 mm in width, fitting the 0805 (2012 metric) package. The device has a viewing angle of 120 degrees and a luminous intensity of 40 mcd. It supports a continuous forward current of 20 mA and can withstand a peak forward current of 150 mA. The power dissipation is rated at 75 mW, and it functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Status indication on electronic devices
• General-purpose signal illumination

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the APT2012CGCK to confirm moisture sensitivity level and soldering profile requirements. Ensure that the supply chain source provides original manufacturer documentation to validate RoHS3 compliance and REACH status. Cross-reference the part number with official Kingbright catalogs to distinguish between standard and right-angle variants if applicable.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 0805 form factor is required for green indication. The 120-degree viewing angle makes it suitable for applications requiring wide visibility. Consider the 2.1 V forward voltage drop for circuit design compatibility. Verify thermal management needs as the power dissipation is limited to 75 mW.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's SMD Chip LED series, specifically utilizing AlGaInP technology. It is distinct from other Green LEDs in the lineup by its specific 2012 metric dimensions and 570 nm peak wavelength. The CGCK suffix typically denotes the color and lens type configuration within the manufacturer's coding system.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 0805 green LEDs with similar 570 nm wavelengths and 2.1 V forward voltages. Verify mechanical dimensions and pinout compatibility before substitution. Check for equivalent luminous intensity and viewing angles to ensure performance parity.
