SM1210RGY

Part Overview

The SM1210RGY is a multi-color surface-mount LED indicator from Bivar Inc., featuring integrated Green, Red, and Yellow light-emitting elements in a compact 1210 (3225 Metric) package. The device operates at discrete forward voltages of 2.1V for Green, 1.9V for Red, and 2.1V for Yellow, with a test current of 20mA across all colors. The product is currently Active and ROHS3 Compliant. Alternative substitute parts may be required when design specifications call for enhanced brightness characteristics, different mechanical dimensions, or alternative packaging configurations while maintaining electrical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The APTF1616SURKCGKSYKC from Kingbright qualifies as an electrical and mechanical substitute based on the following shared parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Multi-color LED configuration (Green, Red, Yellow)
• Forward voltages within acceptable operational range: 2.1V Green, 1.95V Red, 2.0V Yellow
• Test current specification of 20mA across all color elements
• Common Anode configuration for integrated multi-color operation
• Surface mount mounting type

Mechanical and Optical Parameters:

• Clear, colorless lens transparency matching the original design
• Rectangle flat-top lens style for consistent optical characteristics
• Viewing angle of 120° provides adequate visual coverage for most applications

Regulatory and Compliance Parameters:

• ROHS3 Compliant
• ECCN classification EAR99 matching the original part
• HTSUS classification 8541.41.0000 consistent with LED product categorization

The APTF1616SURKCGKSYKC differs in package format (4-SMD, No Lead versus 1210 discrete) and provides enhanced brightness specifications (55mcd Green, 250mcd Red, 120mcd Yellow versus 15mcd, 16mcd, 10mcd respectively), making it suitable for applications requiring higher luminous intensity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SM1210RGY Selection Criteria: The SM1210RGY remains the preferred choice for applications requiring the original 1210 package format with lower brightness specifications. This part is Active and ROHS3 Compliant, ensuring continued availability and regulatory adherence for new designs.

APTF1616SURKCGKSYKC Selection Criteria: The APTF1616SURKCGKSYKC from Kingbright serves as a suitable substitute when designs require enhanced luminous intensity across all color channels within a smaller 4-SMD footprint. Both parts maintain ROHS3 Compliance and identical test current specifications, ensuring electrical circuit compatibility. The Common Anode configuration of the APTF1616SURKCGKSYKC must align with the circuit implementation to ensure proper functionality.

Compliance and Availability: Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and carry EAR99 classification. The APTF1616SURKCGKSYKC provides significantly higher inventory availability (42,812 pieces) compared to the SM1210RGY (727 pieces), supporting production volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the APTF1616SURKCGKSYKC directly replace the SM1210RGY in existing designs? A: Electrical compatibility is maintained through equivalent forward voltages and test current specifications. However, physical replacement requires PCB redesign due to different package formats (1210 discrete versus 4-SMD). The Common Anode configuration of the APTF1616SURKCGKSYKC must match the circuit design.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these parts? A: Forward voltage specifications are nearly identical across all color elements (Green: 2.1V vs. 2.1V; Red: 1.9V vs. 1.95V; Yellow: 2.1V vs. 2.0V). Test current remains constant at 20mA for both parts. The primary difference is brightness output, with the APTF1616SURKCGKSYKC providing substantially higher millicandela ratings.

Q: How do the package dimensions affect substitution? A: The SM1210RGY measures 3.20mm L x 2.70mm W with 1.10mm maximum height in a 1210 package. The APTF1616SURKCGKSYKC measures 1.60mm x 1.60mm with 0.90mm maximum height in a 4-SMD format. These dimensional differences require distinct PCB layouts and cannot be interchanged without design modification.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-volume production? A: Both parts are Active with ROHS3 Compliance. The APTF1616SURKCGKSYKC offers significantly higher inventory availability, supporting larger production runs. Stock quantities should be verified directly with suppliers for current availability status.

Q: What is the impact of viewing angle differences? A: The SM1210RGY provides a 140° viewing angle, while the APTF1616SURKCGKSYKC provides 120°. This difference affects LED visibility in wide-angle applications; the narrower viewing angle of the APTF1616SURKCGKSYKC concentrates light output and may impact visibility in certain mounting orientations.
