APA3010QBC/D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APA3010QBC/D is an active status blue LED indicator manufactured by Kingbright, designed for surface mount right-angle applications in discrete 3.3V circuits. This 2-SMD, no-lead component operates at 20mA test current with a dominant wavelength of 470nm and delivers 90mcd luminous intensity. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 3 moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance can be maintained across alternative manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the APA3010QBC/D is determined by strict alignment across the following parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Forward voltage (Vf) must be 3.3V typical
• Test current must be 20mA
• Color must be blue
• Dominant wavelength must fall within the 470nm specification range

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type must be Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Package must be 2-SMD, No Lead configuration
• Overall dimensions must be 3.00mm L x 2.00mm W
• Maximum height must be 1.00mm
• Lens size must be 2.00mm x 1.00mm
• Viewing angle must be 120°

Regulatory & Environmental Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance mandatory
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (168 Hours) or equivalent
• Active product status

The EASV3020BA2 from Everlight Electronics Co Ltd meets all critical substitution criteria and is classified as an equivalent substitute.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: APA3010QBC/D

The APA3010QBC/D remains the primary component choice when available. It delivers the specified 90mcd luminous intensity and is actively manufactured by Kingbright with confirmed inventory of 2200 units. Both ROHS3 compliance and MSL 3 rating are met.

Substitute Selection: EASV3020BA2

The EASV3020BA2 from Everlight Electronics Co Ltd is qualified as a direct substitute. All critical electrical parameters align: 3.3V forward voltage, 20mA test current, and blue color specification. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed across all dimensional and mounting requirements. The dominant wavelength of 471nm represents a 1nm variation from the 470nm specification, which falls within standard LED manufacturing tolerances for blue indication applications. The luminous intensity of 79mcd is lower than the primary part's 90mcd; however, both values remain within the range acceptable for standard LED indication functions. Regulatory compliance is equivalent, with ROHS3 certification and MSL 3 moisture sensitivity. Inventory availability for EASV3020BA2 is significantly higher at 18,426 units.

Both parts are suitable for direct PCB substitution without circuit redesign when the specified electrical and mechanical parameters are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EASV3020BA2 be used as a direct replacement for the APA3010QBC/D on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. The EASV3020BA2 is mechanically and electrically compatible. Both components share identical package dimensions (3.00mm L x 2.00mm W x 1.00mm H), mounting type (Surface Mount, Right Angle), and electrical specifications (3.3V forward voltage, 20mA test current). PCB footprints designed for the APA3010QBC/D will accommodate the EASV3020BA2 without modification.

Q: What is the significance of the 11mcd difference in luminous intensity between the two parts?

A: The APA3010QBC/D delivers 90mcd while the EASV3020BA2 delivers 79mcd. This 12% reduction in luminous intensity does not affect substitution eligibility for standard LED indication applications. Both values are within the acceptable range for visual status indication in discrete 3.3V circuits. Applications requiring specific brightness thresholds should verify the 79mcd output against circuit requirements.

Q: Are there wavelength differences between these parts?

A: The dominant wavelengths differ by 1nm (APA3010QBC/D at 470nm versus EASV3020BA2 at 471nm). Both parts share an identical peak wavelength of 468nm. This 1nm variation is within standard manufacturing tolerances for blue LEDs and does not affect color perception or application compatibility in indication circuits.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the APA3010QBC/D and EASV3020BA2 are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 3 (168 Hours) moisture sensitivity ratings. Both parts are in active production status. Regulatory compliance is equivalent across all specified certifications.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both components are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging as 2-SMD, No Lead configurations. This packaging format is standard for automated surface mount assembly processes and is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in new designs?

A: Yes. New circuit designs can specify either the APA3010QBC/D or EASV3020BA2 based on availability and supply chain considerations. Both parts meet identical electrical, mechanical, and regulatory requirements for blue LED indication applications operating at 3.3V with 20mA test current.
