EAST16086YA0 Yellow LED 0603 SMD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EAST16086YA0 is a surface-mount yellow LED indicator manufactured by Everlight Electronics Co Ltd. This component operates at 2V forward voltage with a dominant wavelength of 589nm and delivers 126mcd luminous intensity. The device is packaged in 0603 (1608 Metric) form factor with clear lens and rectangular flat-top configuration. As an active product with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 3 rating, the EAST16086YA0 serves in standard LED indication applications requiring discrete yellow light output. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and environmental compliance can be maintained across alternative manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EAST16086YA0 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Forward voltage (Vf) must be 2V. Test current must be 20mA. Wavelength dominant must fall within the yellow spectrum (589-590nm range). Viewing angle must be 120°.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package must be 0603 (1608 Metric). Lens style must be rectangle with flat top. Lens transparency must be clear. Physical dimensions (1.60mm L x 0.80mm W) must match. Height must not exceed 0.75mm maximum.

Environmental & Compliance: RoHS3 compliance is required. Moisture Sensitivity Level must be MSL 3 or lower. ECCN and HTSUS classifications must align with export and tariff requirements.

Performance Consideration: Millicandela rating may vary within acceptable ranges for indication applications, provided all other parameters remain equivalent.

The APT1608SYCK from Kingbright meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The APT1608SYCK is a direct parametric equivalent to the EAST16086YA0 for yellow LED indication applications. Both components share identical electrical specifications (2V forward voltage, 20mA test current, 120° viewing angle) and mechanical form factor (0603 package, 1.60mm x 0.80mm dimensions). Wavelength specifications are equivalent within the yellow spectrum (589nm vs 590nm dominant wavelength). Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 3 moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring equivalent environmental performance and handling requirements.

The APT1608SYCK delivers higher luminous intensity (150mcd vs 126mcd), which represents improved optical performance without introducing incompatibility. Height specification of the APT1608SYCK (0.75mm maximum) remains within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances relative to the EAST16086YA0 (0.70mm maximum).

Selection between these parts is determined by availability, lead time, and supply chain requirements. Both components are suitable for direct substitution in existing designs without circuit modification or re-qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the APT1608SYCK replace the EAST16086YA0 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The APT1608SYCK is mechanically and electrically compatible. Both components use identical 0603 (1608 Metric) packaging, share the same footprint dimensions (1.60mm L x 0.80mm W), and operate at 2V forward voltage with 20mA test current. No PCB layout modification is required.

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

A: The APT1608SYCK delivers 150mcd compared to 126mcd for the EAST16086YA0. This 24mcd difference represents approximately 19% higher brightness. For indication applications, this increased intensity does not create incompatibility and may provide improved visibility.

Q: Are the wavelength specifications equivalent?

A: Yes. The EAST16086YA0 has a dominant wavelength of 589nm, while the APT1608SYCK is specified at 590nm. Both fall within the yellow spectrum and are visually indistinguishable in indication applications. The 1nm difference is within standard LED manufacturing tolerances.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the EAST16086YA0 and APT1608SYCK are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 3 (168 Hours) moisture sensitivity rating. Export classification (EAR99) and tariff code (8541.41.0000) are identical, ensuring equivalent regulatory and supply chain treatment.

Q: Is there a height difference that affects PCB assembly?

A: The APT1608SYCK has a maximum height of 0.75mm compared to 0.70mm for the EAST16086YA0. This 0.05mm difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect reflow soldering, component placement, or clearance requirements for typical applications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-volume production?

A: Yes. Both components are surface-mount devices with identical package specifications, electrical ratings, and compliance certifications. Production changeover between these parts requires no circuit design changes, test procedure modifications, or qualification testing.
