APECVA3010EC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APECVA3010EC is an active-status red surface mount LED indication component manufactured by Kingbright. This 2-SMD, no-lead package device operates at 2V forward voltage with a 625nm dominant wavelength and 15mcd luminous intensity. The component is designed for right-angle surface mount applications requiring discrete red LED indication in compact form factors.

Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, packaging format requirements, or specific application constraints while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within defined parameter tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are classified into two categories based on parametric alignment with the APECVA3010EC:

Parametric Equivalents maintain identical electrical specifications (2V forward voltage, 20mA test current, red color, clear lens, 2-SMD no-lead package, surface mount right-angle configuration) and mechanical dimensions (3.00mm L x 2.00mm W, 1.00mm max height). These parts differ only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) or are variants of the same base product number. Parametric equivalents include APA3010EC and APA3010EC-GX.

Similar Substitutes share the core electrical operating parameters (2V forward voltage, 20mA test current, red color, clear lens, 2-SMD no-lead package, surface mount right-angle configuration, 1.00mm max height) but exhibit variations in wavelength-dominant specification, millicandela rating, viewing angle, or physical dimensions. These parts are suitable for applications where luminous intensity or spectral characteristics permit tolerance within the red LED spectrum (621nm to 631nm dominant wavelength range). Similar substitutes include HSMC-C680, HSMS-C680, and LTST-S321KRKT.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and regulatory alignment with the APECVA3010EC.

Parametric Equivalent Selection (APA3010EC, APA3010EC-GX): These Kingbright variants are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents. Selection between these and the APECVA3010EC is determined by packaging format availability. APA3010EC and APA3010EC-GX are supplied in Tape & Reel format, while APECVA3010EC is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parametric equivalents maintain identical forward voltage (2V), test current (20mA), dominant wavelength (625nm), millicandela rating (15mcd), viewing angle (120°), and physical dimensions (3.00mm L x 2.00mm W, 1.00mm height).

Similar Substitute Selection (HSMC-C680, HSMS-C680, LTST-S321KRKT): These parts are suitable for applications where wavelength-dominant specification, luminous intensity, or viewing angle variations are acceptable within the red LED spectrum. HSMC-C680 (Broadcom) provides higher luminous intensity (62.3mcd) with 630nm dominant wavelength and reduced viewing angle (115°). HSMS-C680 (Broadcom) provides lower luminous intensity (5.1mcd) with 621nm dominant wavelength and increased viewing angle (125°). LTST-S321KRKT (Lite-On) provides moderate-to-high luminous intensity (54mcd) with 631nm dominant wavelength and increased viewing angle (130°).

Broadcom parts (HSMC-C680, HSMS-C680) feature MSL 2A (4 Weeks) versus MSL 3 (168 Hours) for Kingbright and Lite-On parts, indicating lower moisture sensitivity and extended shelf-life handling capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can APA3010EC be used as a direct replacement for APECVA3010EC?

A: Yes. APA3010EC is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications (2V forward voltage, 20mA test current, 625nm dominant wavelength, 15mcd luminous intensity) and mechanical dimensions (3.00mm L x 2.00mm W, 1.00mm height). The primary difference is packaging format: APA3010EC is supplied in Tape & Reel format while APECVA3010EC is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: What are the key differences between parametric equivalents and similar substitutes?

A: Parametric equivalents (APA3010EC, APA3010EC-GX) maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications as the APECVA3010EC. Similar substitutes (HSMC-C680, HSMS-C680, LTST-S321KRKT) share core operating parameters (2V forward voltage, 20mA test current, red color, clear lens, surface mount right-angle configuration) but exhibit variations in wavelength-dominant specification (621nm to 631nm range), millicandela rating (5.1mcd to 62.3mcd range), or viewing angle (115° to 130° range).

Q: Can HSMC-C680 or HSMS-C680 be used in place of APECVA3010EC?

A: HSMC-C680 and HSMS-C680 are similar substitutes suitable for applications where luminous intensity and spectral characteristics permit tolerance. HSMC-C680 provides significantly higher luminous intensity (62.3mcd versus 15mcd) with 630nm dominant wavelength. HSMS-C680 provides significantly lower luminous intensity (5.1mcd versus 15mcd) with 621nm dominant wavelength. Both maintain 2V forward voltage, 20mA test current, and surface mount right-angle configuration. Physical dimensions differ slightly: Broadcom parts are 3.00mm L x 1.00mm W versus 3.00mm L x 2.00mm W for the APECVA3010EC.

Q: What is the difference between MSL 3 (168 Hours) and MSL 2A (4 Weeks)?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) indicates the maximum time a component can be stored at specified temperature and humidity conditions before requiring baking. MSL 3 (168 Hours) permits 7 days of storage at 30°C / 60% RH. MSL 2A (4 Weeks) permits 4 weeks of storage at 30°C / 60% RH. Broadcom parts (HSMC-C680, HSMS-C680) with MSL 2A offer extended shelf-life handling capability compared to Kingbright and Lite-On parts with MSL 3.

Q: Is LTST-S321KRKT compatible with APECVA3010EC in terms of physical dimensions?

A: Yes. LTST-S321KRKT maintains identical physical dimensions (3.00mm L x 2.00mm W, 1.00mm maximum height) as the APECVA3010EC. Both are surface mount right-angle configurations with 2-SMD, no-lead packages. LTST-S321KRKT provides higher luminous intensity (54mcd versus 15mcd) with 631nm dominant wavelength and increased viewing angle (130° versus 120°).

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (APA3010EC, APA3010EC-GX, HSMC-C680, HSMS-C680, LTST-S321KRKT) maintain ROHS3 compliance status, matching the APECVA3010EC regulatory requirement.

Q: Which substitute part offers the closest spectral match to APECVA3010EC?

A: HSMS-C680 (Broadcom) provides the closest dominant wavelength specification at 621nm, compared to APECVA3010EC at 625nm. However, HSMS-C680 exhibits significantly lower luminous intensity (5.1mcd versus 15mcd). LTST-S321KRKT (Lite-On) at 631nm dominant wavelength provides a moderate spectral offset with higher luminous intensity (54mcd) and maintains identical physical dimensions to the APECVA3010EC.
