Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the APA2107QBC/D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf) Typical: 3.3V
• Current - Test: 20mA
• Wavelength - Dominant: 465nm
• Wavelength - Peak: 460nm
• Millicandela Rating: 80mcd

Optical Equivalence Requirements:

• Color: Blue
• Lens Color: Colorless
• Lens Transparency: Clear
• Lens Style: Rectangle with Domed Top
• Lens Size: 1.70mm × 0.60mm
• Viewing Angle: 120°

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Package / Case: 2-SMD, No Lead
• Size / Dimension: 2.10mm L × 1.00mm W

Compliance Equivalence Requirements:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 3 (168 Hours)

The substitute part APA2107QBC/D maintains full equivalence across all electrical, optical, mechanical, and compliance parameters. Variations in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus standard packaging) and maximum height do not affect functional substitution in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criteria:

The APA2107QBC/D and APA2106QBC/D are electrically and optically equivalent blue LED indicators. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and inventory requirements rather than functional performance.

APA2107QBC/D Selection Factors:

• Standard packaging format preferred for small-quantity applications
• Current inventory: 944 units
• Maximum height: 0.70mm
• Suitable for applications with standard height tolerance requirements

APA2106QBC/D Selection Factors:

• Tape & Reel packaging format for high-volume production assembly
• Significantly higher inventory availability: 36,801 units
• Maximum height: 0.60mm (0.10mm lower profile)
• Preferred for automated pick-and-place assembly processes
• Suitable for space-constrained applications requiring lower profile components

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory performance across all applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can APA2106QBC/D directly replace APA2107QBC/D in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and optically identical with matching forward voltage (3.3V), test current (20mA), wavelength (465nm dominant), and luminous intensity (80mcd). The primary difference is packaging format and maximum height. The APA2106QBC/D's lower profile (0.60mm vs. 0.70mm) is compatible with standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between these parts?

A: APA2107QBC/D uses standard packaging suitable for manual or small-batch assembly. APA2106QBC/D is supplied in Tape & Reel format, optimized for automated surface mount assembly lines. Tape & Reel packaging does not affect electrical or optical performance; it addresses manufacturing process requirements.

Q: Are there any height-related compatibility concerns?

A: The APA2106QBC/D maximum height of 0.60mm is 0.10mm lower than the APA2107QBC/D at 0.70mm. This difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not create compatibility issues. The lower profile may be advantageous in space-constrained designs.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and environmental standards?

A: Yes. Both APA2107QBC/D and APA2106QBC/D are ROHS3 compliant with identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 ratings (168 hours). They meet equivalent environmental and regulatory requirements for all applications.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume production?

A: APA2106QBC/D is recommended for high-volume production due to Tape & Reel packaging compatibility with automated assembly equipment and significantly higher inventory availability (36,801 units versus 944 units).

Q: Are the optical characteristics identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical blue color, 465nm dominant wavelength, 80mcd luminous intensity, 120° viewing angle, and Rectangle with Domed Top lens style with 1.70mm × 0.60mm dimensions.
