APT2012SURCK

Overview

The APT2012SURCK is a surface-mount single-color light-emitting diode manufactured by Kingbright. It features a red lens with a water-clear finish and emits light at a peak wavelength of 655 nm, with a dominant wavelength of 640 nm. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 1.85 V at a test current of 20 mA. It provides an optical intensity of 30 mcd and offers a viewing angle of 140 degrees. The device is housed in a 0805 (2012 metric) package measuring 2.00 mm in length, 1.25 mm in width, and 0.75 mm in maximum height.

Feature Summary

• High visibility due to a wide 140-degree viewing angle
• Standard rectangular lens design with a flat top
• Water-clear lens material for optimal light transmission

Applications

• General indicator lighting in electronic devices
• Status indication on control panels
• Backlighting applications requiring red illumination

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct packaging configuration matches your assembly requirements. Confirm that the component meets RoHS3 standards if environmental compliance is mandatory for your project. Check moisture sensitivity level classifications prior to storage and handling to prevent damage during reflow soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 0805 footprint is required for red LED indicators. Consider the 140-degree viewing angle for applications needing broad visibility. Ensure the 1.85 V forward voltage aligns with your circuit's power supply constraints. Verify mechanical clearance for the 0.75 mm maximum height in compact designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's line of surface-mount LEDs designed for general-purpose signaling. It serves as a replacement for discontinued variants such as the APT2012SRCPRV. The component utilizes standard SMD mounting techniques suitable for automated pick-and-place manufacturing processes in consumer electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Kingbright recommends the APT2012SURCK as the direct replacement for the obsolete APT2012SRCPRV model. Engineers transitioning from the previous version should verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics to ensure seamless integration into existing PCB layouts without redesign.
