C4SMB-BGY-CT24Q3C2

Overview

The C4SMB-BGY-CT24Q3C2 is a single-color blue LED from the Screen Master series by Cree LED. It features a 4-mm oval lens with water-clear transparency and operates at a peak wavelength of 470 nm. The component delivers a luminous intensity range of 1205 to 1976 mcd when driven at a forward current of 20 mA. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 3.2 V and a power rating of 140 mW. Designed for through-hole mounting, this radial LED utilizes advanced optical-grade epoxy for high-temperature and moisture resistance.

Feature Summary

• Constructed with advanced optical-grade epoxy ensuring superior resistance to high temperatures and high moisture environments.
• Features a 4-mm oval lens shape with water-clear transparency for optimized light transmission.
• Engineered specifically for durability in outdoor signal applications requiring reliable performance.

Applications

• Outdoor signal indicators
• Video screen illumination components
• Digital signage backlighting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix CT24Q3C2 against official Cree LED documentation to confirm exact binning parameters and packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management requirements before integration. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to account for any potential manufacturing updates or material changes that may affect long-term reliability in harsh environmental conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-brightness blue indication within the Screen Master series. The 470 nm wavelength provides distinct visual signaling suitable for outdoor displays. Consider the 20 mA forward current requirement and 3.2 V drop for circuit design. The through-hole radial package offers mechanical stability compared to surface-mount alternatives in vibration-prone environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Screen Master 4-mm Oval LED family, which includes red (RGY), green (GGY), and blue (BGY) variants. These LEDs are designed as discrete components for use in large-format video screens and digital signs. The series emphasizes reliability and brightness consistency across different color options for unified display systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include C4SMB-RGY-CT24Q3C2 for red and C4SMB-GGY-CT24Q3C2 for green. Other compatible models may include C4SMB-BGY-CT24Q4S2, though verification of luminous intensity bins and forward voltage tolerances is required to ensure electrical compatibility.
