APT2012YC

Overview

The APT2012YC is a surface-mount LED indicator from Kingbright, housed in an 0805 (2012 metric) package measuring 2.0 x 1.2 mm with a maximum height of 0.75 mm. It emits super bright yellow light with a peak wavelength of 590 nm and a typical luminous intensity of 8 mcd at a forward current of 20 mA. The device features a water-clear lens and operates with a forward voltage of 2.1 V, supporting a maximum forward current of 30 mA and a power rating of 75 mW.

Feature Summary

• Super bright yellow emission with a peak wavelength of 590 nm
• Water-clear lens design for standard indication applications
• Compact 0805 surface-mount form factor

Applications

• Panel indicators
• Instrument status lights
• Digital display backlights

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as manufacturing specifications can evolve. Confirm that the required luminous intensity bin matches your design needs, as variations may exist between production lots. Ensure the supplier provides traceable documentation to guarantee component authenticity and compliance with RoHS standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a low-profile yellow indicator in space-constrained layouts. The 0805 footprint allows for dense PCB routing. Consider the 120-degree viewing angle for visibility requirements. The 2.1 V forward voltage drop is suitable for direct driving from standard logic levels or microcontroller GPIOs without additional series resistance in low-voltage systems.

Part Context

This part belongs to Kingbright's SMD LED lineup, specifically the APT series designed for general-purpose indication. The 0805 package size is widely adopted in consumer electronics and industrial control panels due to its balance of brightness and physical dimensions.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 0805 yellow LEDs such as those from Lite-On or Everlight if supply constraints arise. Verify that substitute parts match the 590 nm peak wavelength and 2.0 x 1.2 mm mechanical dimensions to ensure compatibility with existing footprints.
