Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the EAST16086BA0 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment within the 0603 SMD LED category. The substitution criteria are defined by the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Color: Blue
• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) Typical: 3.3V
• Current - Test: 20mA
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Lens Style: Rectangle with Flat Top
• Lens Transparency: Clear
• Viewing Angle: 120°

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Wavelength - Dominant: ±6nm tolerance (465nm to 477nm range)
• Wavelength - Peak: ±4nm tolerance (461nm to 472nm range)
• Millicandela Rating: ±15% tolerance (134mcd to 182mcd range)
• Height (Max): ±0.10mm tolerance (0.60mm to 0.80mm range)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): MSL 2 or MSL 3 acceptable

Both identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are manufactured by Kingbright, an established LED component supplier with active product status and RoHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the EAST16086BA0 within the 0603 SMD LED category. Selection between alternatives is determined by specific application requirements and inventory considerations:

APT1608VBC/D (Kingbright) demonstrates the closest wavelength alignment to the original part at 470nm dominant wavelength, with a 1nm variance from the EAST16086BA0 specification. This part delivers 180mcd luminous intensity, representing a 13.9% increase over the original 158mcd rating. Height specification is 0.75mm, within acceptable tolerance of the original 0.70mm maximum. RoHS3 compliance and active product status are confirmed. MSL 3 rating requires 168-hour moisture protection versus the original MSL 2 one-year rating.

APT1608QBC/G (Kingbright) operates at 465nm dominant wavelength, representing a 6nm variance from the original specification. This part delivers 160mcd luminous intensity, a 1.3% increase over the original rating. Height specification is 0.75mm, within acceptable tolerance. RoHS3 compliance and active product status are confirmed. MSL 3 rating requires 168-hour moisture protection.

Both parts are manufactured by Kingbright with confirmed active product status and RoHS3 compliance certification. Selection should be based on wavelength precision requirements and luminous intensity specifications for the target application circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can APT1608VBC/D and APT1608QBC/G be used interchangeably with EAST16086BA0 in the same circuit?

A: Both substitute parts are electrically and mechanically compatible within the 0603 SMD LED category. All three components operate at identical forward voltage (3.3V) and test current (20mA) specifications. Interchangeability is confirmed for standard indication applications where wavelength tolerance of ±6nm and luminous intensity variation of ±15% are acceptable.

Q: What is the significance of the wavelength difference between the parts?

A: The EAST16086BA0 operates at 471nm dominant wavelength. APT1608VBC/D operates at 470nm (1nm variance), and APT1608QBC/G operates at 465nm (6nm variance). These wavelengths fall within the blue LED spectrum and produce visually similar color output. Selection should be based on specific color matching requirements for the application. Wavelength variance of ±6nm is within standard LED manufacturing tolerance for the blue color category.

Q: What is the difference between MSL 2 and MSL 3 ratings?

A: The EAST16086BA0 carries MSL 2 rating with one-year moisture sensitivity protection. Both substitute parts carry MSL 3 rating with 168-hour moisture sensitivity protection. MSL 3 components require shorter time-to-use windows after moisture exposure. For applications with extended storage or high-humidity environments, the original MSL 2 specification may be preferable. MSL 3 components are suitable for standard manufacturing environments with proper moisture control.

Q: Are the height differences between 0.70mm and 0.75mm significant for PCB assembly?

A: The EAST16086BA0 specifies 0.70mm maximum height. Both substitute parts specify 0.75mm maximum height, representing a 0.05mm variance. This difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect reflow soldering profiles or component placement accuracy for 0603 SMD packages. Height variance is not a limiting factor for mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the luminous intensity difference between the parts?

A: The EAST16086BA0 delivers 158mcd. APT1608VBC/D delivers 180mcd (13.9% higher), and APT1608QBC/G delivers 160mcd (1.3% higher). For indication applications where consistent brightness is critical, APT1608QBC/G provides the closest luminous intensity match. APT1608VBC/D provides increased brightness, which may be advantageous for applications requiring higher visibility.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The EAST16086BA0, APT1608VBC/D, and APT1608QBC/G are all confirmed RoHS3 compliant. All parts meet environmental and hazardous substance restriction requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitute parts?

A: The EAST16086BA0 has 950 pieces in stock. APT1608VBC/D has 43,551 pieces in stock. APT1608QBC/G has 84,168 pieces in stock. Substitute parts offer significantly higher inventory availability, reducing lead time risk for production schedules.
