All identified substitutes meet these criteria and maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 and REACH compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

APA2106MGC (Kingbright) – Primary Reference

The APA2106MGC serves as the baseline specification. This part is Active, ROHS3 compliant, and REACH unaffected. It delivers 80mcd luminous intensity with a 120° viewing angle and is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging suitable for high-volume automated assembly.

XZVG74W (SunLED) – Direct Equivalent

The XZVG74W is functionally equivalent to the APA2106MGC. Both parts share identical electrical characteristics (2.1V forward voltage, 20mA test current), identical physical dimensions (2.10 x 1.00mm, 0.60mm height), and identical package classification (2-SMD, No Lead). The XZVG74W delivers 49mcd luminous intensity compared to the APA2106MGC's 80mcd, representing a 39% reduction in brightness. Both parts maintain 120° viewing angle, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 3 classification. The XZVG74W is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Selection of XZVG74W is appropriate where luminous intensity reduction is acceptable within circuit design parameters.

LTST-S220GKT (Lite-On Inc.) – Functional Substitute with Package Variation

The LTST-S220GKT is functionally compatible with the APA2106MGC across all critical electrical and optical parameters. Both parts operate at 2.1V forward voltage with 20mA test current and feature identical lens geometry (1.70 x 0.60mm rectangle with domed top), physical dimensions (2.10 x 1.00mm), and height (0.60mm). The LTST-S220GKT delivers 10mcd luminous intensity, representing an 87.5% reduction compared to the APA2106MGC's 80mcd. The viewing angle is 130° versus 120°, providing a 10° wider field of view. The LTST-S220GKT is packaged as 0805 (2012 Metric) and supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format rather than Tape & Reel. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 3 classification. Selection of LTST-S220GKT is appropriate where lower luminous intensity is acceptable and where Cut Tape packaging is compatible with assembly processes.

All three parts maintain Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XZVG74W replace APA2106MGC in all applications?

A: XZVG74W is electrically and mechanically compatible with APA2106MGC. Both parts operate at 2.1V forward voltage, 20mA test current, and share identical physical dimensions and package type (2-SMD, No Lead). The primary difference is luminous intensity: XZVG74W delivers 49mcd versus APA2106MGC's 80mcd. Substitution is valid where the reduced brightness is acceptable within circuit design specifications.

Q: What is the key difference between LTST-S220GKT and the other two parts?

A: LTST-S220GKT differs in two aspects: (1) Package classification is listed as 0805 (2012 Metric) rather than 2-SMD, No Lead, though physical dimensions remain identical at 2.10 x 1.00mm; (2) Packaging format is Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® rather than Tape & Reel (TR). Luminous intensity is also significantly lower at 10mcd. These differences may affect assembly line compatibility and brightness performance.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. APA2106MGC, XZVG74W, and LTST-S220GKT are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. All three maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (168 Hours) classification.

Q: What is the viewing angle difference between these parts?

A: APA2106MGC and XZVG74W both specify 120° viewing angle. LTST-S220GKT specifies 130° viewing angle, providing a 10° wider field of view. This difference may be relevant in applications where viewing angle is a critical design parameter.

Q: Can I use LTST-S220GKT if my assembly line is configured for Tape & Reel packaging?

A: LTST-S220GKT is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format, not Tape & Reel (TR). If your assembly equipment requires Tape & Reel format, LTST-S220GKT would require packaging format conversion or assembly line reconfiguration. APA2106MGC and XZVG74W are both available in Tape & Reel format.

Q: What is the luminous intensity difference between these parts?

A: APA2106MGC delivers 80mcd. XZVG74W delivers 49mcd (39% reduction). LTST-S220GKT delivers 10mcd (87.5% reduction). Selection depends on brightness requirements within the circuit design.

Q: Are the wavelength specifications identical across all three parts?

A: Wavelength specifications are similar but not identical. APA2106MGC and XZVG74W both specify dominant wavelength of 570nm and peak wavelength of 574nm. LTST-S220GKT specifies dominant wavelength of 569nm and peak wavelength of 565nm. All three remain within the green spectrum range and are visually compatible.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each part?

A: APA2106MGC: 936 Pcs. XZVG74W: 3,180 Pcs. LTST-S220GKT: 272,358 Pcs. Inventory levels should be verified at time of procurement.
