APA3010ZGC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APA3010ZGC is an active-status green LED indication component manufactured by Kingbright, designed for surface mount right-angle applications. This 2-SMD, no-lead package device operates at 3.3V forward voltage with a 525nm dominant wavelength and 250mcd luminous intensity. The component is specified for applications requiring discrete LED indication in compact form factors with clear lens optics and 120° viewing angle. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, extended lead times, or supply chain continuity requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the APA3010ZGC are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The substitution criteria are defined by the following key parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Forward voltage (Vf): 3.3V (typical)
• Test current: 20mA
• Wavelength - Dominant: 525nm
• Wavelength - Peak: 515nm
• Color: Green

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Package type: 2-SMD, No Lead
• Lens size: 2.00mm x 1.00mm
• Overall dimensions: 3.00mm L x 2.00mm W
• Maximum height: 1.00mm
• Lens style: Rectangle with Domed Top
• Lens transparency: Clear

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 3 (168 Hours)
• Product Status: Active

The XZDGK56W from SunLED meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in millicandela rating (297mcd vs. 250mcd) remain within acceptable tolerance for indication applications where the dominant wavelength, forward voltage, and package geometry are the primary selection criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: APA3010ZGC (Kingbright)

The APA3010ZGC is the specified component with active product status and confirmed inventory of 1022 units. This part is ROHS3 compliant and carries REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and consumer applications.

Substitute Selection: XZDGK56W (SunLED)

The XZDGK56W is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent with active product status. This component demonstrates:

• Identical electrical parameters (3.3V forward voltage, 20mA test current, 525nm dominant wavelength)
• Identical mechanical parameters (2-SMD no-lead package, 3.00mm x 2.00mm x 1.00mm maximum dimensions, right-angle surface mount configuration)
• Identical optical parameters (120° viewing angle, clear lens, rectangle with domed top lens style)
• Equivalent compliance status (ROHS3 compliant, MSL 3 classification)
• Higher luminous intensity (297mcd vs. 250mcd), which provides additional optical margin for indication applications

The XZDGK56W is suitable for direct substitution in applications where the APA3010ZGC is specified, with extended inventory availability (29869 units) supporting supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XZDGK56W replace the APA3010ZGC in existing designs?

A: Yes. The XZDGK56W meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Forward voltage, test current, wavelength, package type, dimensions, and mounting configuration are identical. The component is pin-compatible and footprint-compatible for direct substitution on existing PCB layouts.

Q: What is the significance of the millicandela rating difference (250mcd vs. 297mcd)?

A: The XZDGK56W provides 18.8% higher luminous intensity at the same forward voltage and test current. For indication applications, this represents increased optical output without requiring circuit modifications. The higher intensity does not create compatibility issues and may improve visibility in ambient light conditions.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same environmental conditions?

A: Yes. Both components carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 3, 168 hours) and RoHS3 compliance ratings. Storage, handling, and reflow requirements are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the 2-SMD and 2-SMD, No Lead package designations?

A: Both the APA3010ZGC and XZDGK56W use the same 2-SMD, No Lead package type. This indicates a surface mount package with two solder pads and no through-hole leads. The packages are mechanically and electrically identical.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-volume production?

A: Yes. Both components are active-status products with established supply chains. The identical electrical specifications, package geometry, and compliance certifications support interchangeable use in production environments. Design validation should confirm that the higher luminous intensity of the XZDGK56W does not create unintended optical effects in the application.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: (1) identical forward voltage and test current, (2) identical dominant wavelength, (3) identical package type and dimensions, (4) identical mounting configuration, (5) identical lens geometry and transparency, (6) equivalent compliance certifications, and (7) active product status. The XZDGK56W satisfies all criteria.
