APT2012PBC/A

Overview

The Kingbright APT2012PBC/A is an obsolete single-color blue light-emitting diode designed for surface-mount technology applications. It features a water-clear lens and emits light at a peak wavelength of 470nm. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 3.2V and delivers a luminous intensity of 60mcd when tested at 20mA. It utilizes a standard 0805 (2012 metric) package with dimensions of 2.00mm in length, 1.25mm in width, and a maximum height of 0.75mm. The device is RoHS3 compliant and carries a Moisture Sensitivity Level of 3.

Feature Summary

• Emits blue light with a 470nm peak wavelength
• Utilizes a water-clear lens for optical clarity
• Designed for surface-mount assembly processes

Applications

• Indicator lighting in electronic devices
• Backlighting for displays
• Panel illumination

Procurement Notes

This component is officially classified as obsolete and no longer manufactured by Kingbright. Procurement should focus on verifying the authenticity of remaining stock from authorized distributors or secondary market suppliers. Buyers must confirm the specific manufacturing date code to ensure compliance with current environmental standards such as RoHS3. Due to its discontinued status, long-term supply availability cannot be guaranteed, and alternative sourcing strategies should be evaluated immediately.

Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this part should note its discontinuation and prioritize functional equivalents from the same manufacturer family. Key selection criteria include matching the 0805 footprint, blue color spectrum, and forward voltage requirements. Verify that any substitute component maintains compatibility with existing automation placement equipment and meets the required moisture sensitivity level for the intended assembly process.

Part Context

The APT2012PBC/A belongs to Kingbright's APT series of surface-mount LEDs, which are characterized by low power consumption and wide viewing angles. This specific model represents a standard blue indicator variant within the 2012 metric package size. The series is widely recognized for compatibility with automated pick-and-place machinery, facilitating efficient high-volume production lines.

Replacement Considerations

Kingbright recommends the APT2012SURCK as a replacement for this obsolete part number.
