Overview
The APT2012SGC is a Super Bright Green surface-mount LED in a standard 0805 (2012 metric) package. It features a water clear lens and utilizes Gallium Phosphide (GaP) technology to provide reliable visual indication with low power consumption.
Why Choose This Part
The 0805 footprint provides a balance between ease of manufacturing and space savings. Its water clear lens ensures high luminous intensity and a wide viewing angle for clear visibility from multiple directions.
Applications
Status Indication
Ideal for power-on, link activity, or fault status indicators on high-density PCBs.
Backlighting
Suitable for backlighting small LCDs, membrane switches, and symbol illumination.
Network Equipment
Commonly used in routers and switches for front-panel port status signaling.
Getting Started
When designing with this LED, calculate the current-limiting resistor based on the forward voltage (typically around 2.2V) and the desired current (max 25mA). Ensure the PCB footprint follows standard IPC-7351 0805 patterns for optimal solder joint reliability.
