• Surface-mount package (1608 size)
• High luminous intensity
• Low power consumption
• Wide viewing angle
• Long operating life

Benefits

• Clear indication of status or activity
• Easy to integrate into PCB designs due to surface-mount package
• Good visibility even in bright ambient lighting
• Energy efficient operation
• Durable and reliable performance

Additional Details

The KPT-1608NC typically requires a forward voltage of around 3V and a forward current of around 20mA. The luminous intensity is a key parameter for determining the brightness of the LED. The viewing angle specifies the range over which the light is emitted with sufficient intensity. The operating temperature range affects the LED's lifespan and performance. The 1608 package size refers to its dimensions (1.6mm x 0.8mm). Further technical specifications, including peak wavelength, viewing angle, and luminous intensity at a specific forward current can be found in the Kingbright Corporation datasheet for the KPT-1608NC.
