Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution logic for the APG1608VGC/A is based on the following allowed parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Color: Green
• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Lens Style: Rectangle with Flat Top
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Secondary Electrical Parameters (Allowable Variance):

• Voltage - Forward (Vf): 2.1V to 3.3V range
• Millicandela Rating: 11mcd to 400mcd range
• Wavelength - Dominant: 525nm to 570nm range

Substitute parts APG1608ZGC, XZDGK53W-6, XZVG53W-1, and XZMG53W-1 share the same package footprint, mounting type, and lens configuration. Electrical parameters vary within acceptable ranges for green LED indication applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

APG1608ZGC (Kingbright): Direct manufacturer alternative with identical wavelength (525nm) and package. Forward voltage increases from 3.2V to 3.3V; brightness doubles to 400mcd. Suitable for applications requiring higher luminous intensity. Available in Tape & Reel packaging. ROHS3 compliant, Active status.

XZDGK53W-6 (SunLED): Cross-manufacturer substitute maintaining 525nm wavelength and 3.3V forward voltage. Brightness rated at 347mcd. Supplied in 2-SMD configuration with Tape & Reel packaging. ROHS3 compliant, Active status. Highest inventory availability (10,055 pcs).

XZVG53W-1 (SunLED): Alternative for applications tolerating lower forward voltage (2.1V) and reduced brightness (49mcd). Wavelength shifts to 570nm (yellow-green spectrum). Tape & Reel packaging. ROHS3 compliant, Active status.

XZMG53W-1 (SunLED): Alternative for applications tolerating lower forward voltage (2.2V) and significantly reduced brightness (11mcd). Wavelength shifts to 568nm (yellow-green spectrum). Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging. ROHS3 compliant, Active status. Largest inventory (79,290 pcs).

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, Active product status, and 0603 (1608 Metric) surface mount package compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can APG1608ZGC replace APG1608VGC/A in all applications?

A: APG1608ZGC shares identical package, mounting type, wavelength, and lens configuration. Forward voltage increases 0.1V (3.2V to 3.3V) and brightness doubles (200mcd to 400mcd). Substitution is valid where circuit design accommodates 3.3V operation and higher luminous intensity does not create optical interference.

Q: What is the difference between XZDGK53W-6 and other SunLED alternatives?

A: XZDGK53W-6 maintains the 525nm wavelength matching the original part, with 3.3V forward voltage and 347mcd brightness. XZVG53W-1 and XZMG53W-1 shift to yellow-green spectrum (570nm and 568nm respectively) with significantly lower forward voltages (2.1V and 2.2V) and reduced brightness ratings (49mcd and 11mcd). Wavelength shift affects color perception and may not be suitable for color-critical applications.

Q: Are packaging format differences significant?

A: APG1608VGC/A is supplied as Chip LED. Substitutes are available in Tape & Reel (TR), 2-SMD, or Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® formats. Packaging format affects procurement quantity, handling, and assembly process but does not alter electrical or mechanical compatibility for surface mount assembly.

Q: Which substitute offers best inventory availability?

A: XZMG53W-1 has highest inventory (79,290 pcs), followed by XZDGK53W-6 (10,055 pcs). However, XZMG53W-1 operates at 2.2V with 11mcd brightness and 568nm wavelength, representing significant electrical and optical deviation from the original specification.

Q: Do all substitutes meet the same compliance standards?

A: All listed substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 with HTSUS code 8541.41.0000. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is 3 (168 Hours) across all parts.

Q: What forward voltage range is acceptable for substitution?

A: The original part operates at 3.2V. Substitutes range from 2.1V to 3.3V. Circuit design must accommodate the selected substitute's forward voltage to ensure proper LED operation and brightness consistency.
