APG1005CGC-T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APG1005CGC-T is an active-status green LED indication component manufactured by Kingbright, designed for surface mount applications in the 0402 (1005 Metric) package format. This discrete LED operates at 2V forward voltage with a 20mA test current and delivers 35mcd luminous intensity at a dominant wavelength of 571nm. The component features a clear, colorless lens with rectangular flat-top geometry and a 120° viewing angle, suitable for standard indication applications requiring compact form factors.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, supply chain continuity, or specific application requirements where alternative electrical and mechanical parameters remain within acceptable operational ranges for the intended circuit design.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the APG1005CGC-T are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Color specification (Green or Green-Yellow wavelength range)
• Lens transparency (Clear)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• RoHS3 compliance and regulatory status (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99)
• Product status (Active)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Forward voltage (Vf) within circuit design tolerance
• Test current rating
• Millicandela output (luminous intensity)
• Package form factor and physical dimensions
• Wavelength alignment with application requirements

The substitute parts listed below maintain compatibility across primary criteria while presenting variations in secondary parameters that may require circuit design verification depending on application-specific requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SML-P11MTT86R (Rohm Semiconductor PicoLED™ Series)

This substitute maintains the 0402 form factor with identical height (0.25mm maximum), enabling direct PCB layout compatibility. The forward voltage of 1.9V is 0.1V lower than the main part, and the test current is significantly reduced to 1mA, resulting in substantially lower luminous intensity (2.1mcd versus 35mcd). This part is suitable for applications where reduced brightness is acceptable or where lower power consumption is a design priority. The wavelength shift to 569nm (Green-Yellow) represents a minor spectral deviation within the green indication spectrum. All regulatory certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99) and moisture sensitivity ratings align with the main part.

SML-A12P8TT86 (Rohm Semiconductor EXCELED™ Series)

This substitute operates at 2.2V forward voltage with a 20mA test current, maintaining electrical characteristics closer to the main part. However, the package format changes to 2-SMD, No Lead (1611 / 0605 Metric) with significantly larger dimensions (1.60mm x 1.15mm) and increased height (0.65mm maximum). The mounting configuration is right-angle rather than standard surface mount, requiring PCB layout redesign. The luminous intensity is reduced to 6.3mcd. This part is applicable only when PCB space permits the larger footprint and right-angle orientation is compatible with the application. The wavelength of 560nm represents a shift toward the yellow-green spectrum. All regulatory and compliance parameters remain aligned with the main part.

Both substitute parts maintain active product status and full regulatory compliance, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SML-P11MTT86R be used as a direct replacement for APG1005CGC-T in all applications?

A: SML-P11MTT86R maintains the same 0402 package footprint and height, enabling direct PCB placement without layout modification. However, the reduced luminous intensity (2.1mcd versus 35mcd) and lower test current (1mA versus 20mA) require circuit design verification. Applications requiring 35mcd brightness output cannot use this substitute without additional circuit modifications to increase drive current.

Q: What are the key differences between the two substitute parts?

A: SML-P11MTT86R retains the 0402 form factor with minimal brightness output, suitable for low-power indication. SML-A12P8TT86 uses a larger 1611 package with right-angle mounting, requiring PCB redesign but offering moderate brightness (6.3mcd) with electrical characteristics closer to the main part. Package selection depends on available PCB space and mounting orientation requirements.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The main part APG1005CGC-T and both substitute parts (SML-P11MTT86R and SML-A12P8TT86) are ROHS3 Compliant with REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 classification, ensuring regulatory compatibility across all three components.

Q: What is the impact of forward voltage differences on circuit design?

A: The main part operates at 2.0V typical forward voltage. SML-P11MTT86R operates at 1.9V (0.1V lower), and SML-A12P8TT86 operates at 2.2V (0.2V higher). These variations affect series resistor calculations in current-limiting circuits. Lower forward voltage reduces voltage drop across the resistor; higher forward voltage increases it. Circuit designers must recalculate resistor values to maintain desired LED current and brightness output.

Q: Can SML-A12P8TT86 be used in the same PCB layout as APG1005CGC-T?

A: No. SML-A12P8TT86 uses a 1611 package (1.60mm x 1.15mm) with right-angle mounting, compared to the 0402 package (1.00mm x 0.50mm) of the main part. PCB footprint, pad layout, and component orientation must be redesigned to accommodate this larger, right-angle mounted part.

Q: What is the wavelength difference between these parts, and does it affect application suitability?

A: The main part emits at 571nm (pure green). SML-P11MTT86R emits at 569nm (green-yellow, 2nm shift). SML-A12P8TT86 emits at 560nm (yellow-green, 11nm shift). For applications requiring specific color matching or wavelength-dependent optical filtering, these shifts may be significant. For general green indication purposes, all three parts fall within the green spectrum range.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts carry MSL 3 (168 Hours) rating, indicating identical moisture sensitivity and requiring the same storage and handling precautions during manufacturing and assembly processes.
