C4SMB-BGY-CS44Q3C2

Overview

The C4SMB-BGY-CS44Q3C2 is a single-color blue LED from the Screen Master series by Cree LED. It features a 4-mm oval lens with a water-clear finish and emits light at a wavelength of 470 nm. The component operates with a forward current of 10 mA and a forward voltage of 3.2 V, resulting in a power rating of approximately 140 mW. Optical intensity ranges from 1017 to 1672 mcd. It utilizes through-hole mounting and is supplied in an ammo pack.

Feature Summary

• High-intensity blue emission optimized for outdoor signal applications
• Advanced optical-grade epoxy construction for moisture resistance
• Radial through-hole design for reliable mechanical mounting

Applications

• Outdoor digital signage
• Advertising displays
• Stadium ribbons and video screens

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against official Cree LED documentation due to potential supply chain variations. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required optical and electrical characteristics. Check for end-of-life status or obsolescence notices prior to procurement. Ensure compatibility with existing through-hole assembly processes and verify packaging specifications match project requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-brightness blue indication in harsh environments. The 4-mm oval form factor provides a wide viewing angle suitable for large-format displays. Consider the 10 mA operating current for power efficiency. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the epoxy lens material. Compare against alternative colors within the Screen Master series if different visual signaling is needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Screen Master 4-mm Oval LED family, designed for high-reliability visual signaling. The series is characterized by superior high-temperature and high-moisture resistance performance. These LEDs are engineered specifically for large-format, high-resolution video screen applications where consistent image quality is critical in outdoor settings.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the C4SMB series such as C4SMB-RGY or C4SMB-GGY for different colors. Cross-reference with C4SMG series components for similar form factors. Verify pinout and dimensional compatibility before substitution.
