Active20,963 in stock

Overview

The APTD1608SURCK is a high-intensity Hyper Red LED in a compact 0603 (1608 Metric) surface-mount package. It features a specialized dome lens that focuses light output into a 60-degree viewing angle, providing higher luminous intensity compared to standard flat-top LEDs. Designed for space-constrained designs, it operates at a typical forward voltage of 1.95V and is halogen-free.

Why Choose This Part

The integrated dome lens increases directional brightness, allowing for lower power consumption while maintaining visibility. Its 1.10mm maximum height and 0603 footprint make it compatible with automated assembly in highly dense PCB layouts.

Applications

Status Indicators
Ideal for power-on or fault indicators in compact consumer electronics where high visibility is required.
Backlighting
Used for backlighting small buttons, LCD icons, or membrane switches in portable devices.
Wearable Electronics
Fits within the tight height profiles of fitness trackers and smartwatches due to its small footprint.
Healthcare Devices
Suitable for portable medical diagnostic equipment requiring clear visual feedback in a small form factor.

Getting Started

When designing with this LED, ensure a current-limiting resistor is placed in series to maintain the forward current below the 30mA maximum. For a standard 3.3V logic rail, a resistor value around 68 to 100 ohms is typical for high brightness applications. Ensure the PCB footprint accounts for the specific 1.6mm by 0.8mm dimensions to maintain proper solder fillet formation during reflow.
