APT2012QBC/D

Overview

The Kingbright APT2012QBC/D is a surface-mount single-color blue LED in a 2012 (0805) package. It features a water-clear rectangular lens and emits at a peak wavelength of 465 nm with a luminous intensity of 200 mcd. The device operates with a forward voltage of 3.3 V at 20 mA, dissipating 120 mW. It has a viewing angle of 30 degrees and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Water-clear rectangular lens for precise light direction
• High luminous intensity output in compact SMD form factor
• Wide operating temperature range for diverse environments

Applications

• Status indication on electronic circuit boards
• Backlighting for small displays and keypads
• Indicator lights in portable consumer devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix D against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm moisture sensitivity level and reel packaging quantity. Ensure RoHS compliance documentation matches current regulatory requirements for the target market. Cross-reference the 2012 package dimensions with PCB footprint libraries before finalizing design files.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-intensity blue indicator is required in an 0805-sized space. The 30-degree viewing angle suits applications needing focused illumination rather than wide-area diffusion. Consider the 3.3V forward voltage drop for appropriate current-limiting resistor calculations in low-voltage circuits.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright’s APT series of surface-mount LEDs, designed for general-purpose indication. The 2012 package offers a balance between visibility and board space efficiency. It serves as a standard solution for modern electronics requiring reliable, compact optical signaling components.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 2012 blue LEDs from Kingbright such as APT2012SURCK (red) or APT2012SGC (green) if color change is acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before swapping.
