C4SMA-BGF-CR34Q3C1

Overview

The C4SMA-BGF-CR34Q3C1 is a discrete blue LED from the Screen Master series, manufactured by Cree LED. It features a 4mm oval lens with water clear transparency and radial through-hole mounting. The component emits light at a wavelength of 471nm with a forward voltage of 2.9V at a forward current of 20mA. Physical dimensions include a lens size of 4.2mm x 3.1mm x 6.3mm. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +95°C and has a power rating of 140mW.

Feature Summary

• Blue emission optimized for visual indication applications
• Water clear oval lens design for consistent light transmission
• Radial through-hole package suitable for standard PCB layouts

Applications

• Digital signage status indicators
• Advertising display control panels
• Stadium screen monitoring systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm electrical binning and optical characteristics. Ensure the procurement channel provides original documentation matching the C4SMA-BGF-CR34Q3C1 part number. Check for any recent product change notices that may affect performance specifications or availability status before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a blue indication source is required for high-reliability video screen environments. The 471nm wavelength provides distinct visibility compared to standard red or green indicators. Consider the 2.9V forward voltage drop for circuit design compatibility. The oval shape offers specific beam angle requirements different from round LEDs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master family, designed for large-format video screens and digital signage. These LEDs are engineered for harsh operating environments and high reliability. The C4SMA series specifically utilizes a 4mm oval form factor, distinguishing it from other rectangular or circular LED packages in the broader Cree portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with C4SMA-BGY-CR34Q4S1 for specification comparisons. Verify if alternative blue LEDs from the same Screen Master series meet the exact 471nm wavelength and 2.9V forward voltage requirements.
