APT2012LVBC/D

Overview

The Kingbright APT2012LVBC/D is a surface-mount single-color blue LED in an 0805 (2012 metric) package. It emits light at a peak wavelength of 465 nm with a dominant wavelength of 470 nm. The component features a water-clear lens and operates with a typical forward voltage of 2.65 V at a test current of 2 mA. It provides a luminous intensity of 24 mcd and offers a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The device is RoHS3 compliant and has a moisture sensitivity level of 3.

Feature Summary

• Low current operation optimized for power efficiency
• Water-clear rectangular lens with flat top design
• High brightness output within standard SMD footprint

Applications

• Status indication on compact electronic boards
• Backlighting for small form factor devices
• Indicator lights in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm lens style and binning. Ensure compatibility with reflow soldering profiles specified in the datasheet. Check for RoHS3 compliance requirements specific to the target market regulations before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require an 0805 footprint but higher visibility than standard low-current variants. Compare the 120-degree viewing angle against applications requiring focused light, where narrower beam angles might be preferable. Consider the 2 mA drive current for battery-powered designs to extend operational life.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's standard surface-mount LED series designed for general-purpose indication. It complements other colors in the same package size, allowing for consistent mechanical design across multi-color indicator panels while maintaining uniform thermal and electrical characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Kingbright APT2012SURCK is listed as a recommended replacement for the discontinued APT2012SRCPRV variant.
