Overview
The APT2012SYCK is a yellow surface-mount LED in a standard 0805 (2012 metric) package. It features a water-clear lens and utilizes AlGaInP on GaAs substrate technology to provide high luminous intensity in a compact footprint.
Why Choose This Part
This LED offers a low power consumption profile with a wide 120-degree viewing angle for consistent visibility. Its industry-standard 0805 footprint ensures compatibility with high-speed automated assembly equipment and standard solder reflow profiles.
Applications
Status Indicators
Ideal for power-on LEDs and system health indicators on high-density PCBs.
Backlighting
Suitable for backlighting LCDs, switches, and symbols where yellow illumination is required.
Diagnostic Feedback
Used in industrial and consumer electronics to provide visual fault or state codes to the user.
Getting Started
Ensure correct polarity by identifying the cathode mark on the bottom of the package before placement. Select a current-limiting resistor based on the forward voltage (typically 2.0V) to maintain a safe forward current (typically 20mA).
