Additional Details
The KPT-1608LSURCK operates at a forward voltage of approximately 2.0V and a forward current of 5mA to 20mA (depending on desired brightness). The peak wavelength is around 630nm, providing a distinct red color. Its wide viewing angle ensures that the light is visible from multiple directions. The device is packaged on tape and reel for automated assembly. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommended soldering profile to ensure reliable soldering and prevent damage to the LED. The AlInGaP material ensures high efficiency and long-term stability. The MSL rating indicates the precautions required during handling and storage to prevent moisture-related failures during soldering. The specific luminous intensity values and color coordinates are provided in the product datasheet for precise color matching in display applications. ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection measures should be taken during handling to prevent damage to the LED. Detailed thermal management guidelines are also available to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The small size and high brightness make it ideal for applications where space is limited but high visibility is crucial.
