APECVA3010YC Yellow LED SMD Right Angle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APECVA3010YC is an active yellow surface mount LED manufactured by Kingbright, designed for indication applications requiring a 588nm dominant wavelength output. This component is a 2-SMD, no-lead discrete LED with a right-angle mounting configuration and clear domed rectangular lens. The part is ROHS3 compliant and currently in active production status with 1064 units in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements necessitate alternative sourcing due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or when higher brightness ratings are acceptable within the application's electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the APECVA3010YC are classified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The substitution logic is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Forward voltage (Vf): 2.1V (fixed requirement)
• Test current: 20mA (fixed requirement)
• Wavelength dominant: 588-589nm range (acceptable tolerance)
• Wavelength peak: 588-590nm range (acceptable tolerance)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting type: Surface Mount, Right Angle (required)
• Package type: 2-SMD, No Lead (required)
• Lens size: 2.00mm x 1.00mm (required)
• Height maximum: 1.00mm (required)
• Physical dimensions: 3.00mm L x 2.00mm W (required)
• Lens style: Rectangle with Domed Top (required)
• Lens color: Colorless (required)
• Lens transparency: Clear (required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (required)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (required)

Brightness (millicandela rating) and viewing angle are not substitution-limiting parameters when all electrical and mechanical specifications align, as these represent performance enhancements within the same functional category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

APA3010YC-GX (Kingbright): This part is a parametric equivalent to the APECVA3010YC. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel) and higher inventory availability (13594 units). This part is suitable for direct substitution in production environments requiring reel-based component handling. Both parts maintain identical MSL ratings and compliance certifications.

5972222607F (Dialight): This part meets all critical electrical and mechanical substitution criteria with identical forward voltage, test current, lens dimensions, and mounting configuration. The dominant wavelength shifts to 589nm (within yellow LED specification range). Brightness is significantly higher at 125mcd compared to 7mcd, and viewing angle increases to 130°. This part is suitable for applications where enhanced brightness is acceptable or beneficial. MSL rating remains at Level 3. All compliance certifications are maintained.

HSMY-C680 (Broadcom Limited): This part meets electrical substitution requirements with identical forward voltage and test current. Wavelength dominant is 589nm. Brightness is 9.3mcd, slightly higher than the main part. Viewing angle is 125°. Physical width dimension is 1.00mm (versus 2.00mm for main part), representing a dimensional variance. MSL rating is improved to Level 2A. All compliance certifications are maintained. The dimensional difference requires mechanical design verification for PCB layout compatibility.

All substitute parts maintain active product status and full ROHS3 and REACH compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can APA3010YC-GX replace APECVA3010YC in existing designs?

A: Yes. APA3010YC-GX is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications (2.1V forward voltage, 20mA test current), identical mechanical dimensions (3.00mm L x 2.00mm W x 1.00mm H), and identical wavelength characteristics (588nm dominant, 590nm peak). The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus standard packaging). No circuit or PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: What is the brightness difference between APECVA3010YC and 5972222607F?

A: APECVA3010YC is rated at 7mcd, while 5972222607F is rated at 125mcd. This represents an 18-fold brightness increase. Both parts operate at identical forward voltage (2.1V) and test current (20mA). The higher brightness of 5972222607F does not affect electrical compatibility but may impact visual perception in the application. Verify that increased brightness does not cause unintended visual effects or exceed application requirements.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility issues with HSMY-C680?

A: HSMY-C680 has a physical width of 1.00mm compared to 2.00mm for APECVA3010YC. Length remains 3.00mm and height remains 1.00mm. This dimensional difference requires verification of PCB footprint and component placement clearances. Electrical and mounting type compatibility is confirmed. Consult PCB layout documentation before substitution.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All substitute parts (APA3010YC-GX, 5972222607F, and HSMY-C680) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the main part APECVA3010YC. Moisture sensitivity levels vary: APECVA3010YC and APA3010YC-GX are MSL 3 (168 Hours), 5972222607F is MSL 3 (168 Hours), and HSMY-C680 is MSL 2A (4 Weeks). MSL 2A represents improved moisture resistance.

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

A: APECVA3010YC has a 120° viewing angle. APA3010YC-GX maintains 120°. 5972222607F increases to 130°, and HSMY-C680 is 125°. Wider viewing angles allow visibility from greater off-axis angles. Verify that increased viewing angle does not cause unintended visibility in adjacent areas of the application.

Q: Can I use 5972222607F in a design requiring minimum brightness specifications?

A: 5972222607F at 125mcd significantly exceeds the 7mcd rating of APECVA3010YC. If the application has maximum brightness constraints (to prevent over-illumination or excessive power consumption), 5972222607F may not be suitable. Confirm that the application can accommodate the higher brightness output without functional degradation.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitute parts?

A: APECVA3010YC has 1064 units in stock. APA3010YC-GX has 13594 units (12.8x higher availability), 5972222607F has 3758 units (3.5x higher), and HSMY-C680 has 6868 units (6.5x higher). For high-volume production or extended lead time mitigation, APA3010YC-GX or HSMY-C680 offer superior inventory positions.
