AP2012EC
Overview
The AP2012EC is a standard high-efficiency red surface-mount LED in a compact 0805 (2012 Metric) package. It features a GaAsP/GaP chip with a water-clear lens, providing a wide 120-degree viewing angle for consistent visibility. This discrete indicator is designed for low power consumption and reliable operation within a standard -40 to +85 degree Celsius temperature range.
Why Choose This Part
The 0805 footprint offers a balance between ease of assembly and board space savings, while the 1.10mm low profile is suitable for slim consumer electronics. Its wide 120-degree viewing angle ensures the light is visible from off-axis positions, making it effective for general user interface feedback.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To drive this LED, ensure a current-limiting resistor is placed in series to maintain the 20mA test current and stay within the 2.0V to 2.5V forward voltage range. Standard SMD reflow soldering processes can be used, and the part is halogen-free and RoHS compliant for modern environmental standards.
