Overview

The APT3216EC is a red surface-mount LED housed in a standard 1206 (3216 Metric) package. It features a water-clear rectangular lens and provides a 120-degree viewing angle, making it suitable for high-visibility status indication in compact electronics.

Why Choose This Part

The 0.75mm low-profile height allows for integration into slim mechanical enclosures. Its wide 120-degree viewing angle ensures consistent color and brightness when viewed from off-axis positions.

Applications

Status Indicators
Visual feedback for power rails, error states, or activity on PCBs.
Backlighting
Uniform illumination for LCD panels, switches, and membrane keypads.
Portable Devices
Low-profile design ideal for height-constrained wearables and handheld instruments.
Home Appliances
Front-panel indicators for smart home devices and consumer electronics.
