C4SMB-BGY-CT24Q3S1

Overview

The C4SMB-BGY-CT24Q3S1 is a single-color blue LED from the Screen Master series, manufactured by Cree LED. It features a 4-mm oval package and emits light at a wavelength of 465nm to 470nm. The component provides a luminous intensity ranging from 1017 mcd to 1976 mcd. It operates with a forward voltage of approximately 3.2V and is designed for reliable performance in outdoor signal applications, utilizing advanced optical-grade epoxy for high temperature and moisture resistance.

Feature Summary

• Constructed with advanced optical-grade epoxy for superior high-temperature and high-moisture resistance
• Designed specifically for demanding outdoor signal applications
• Features a 4-mm oval form factor suitable for discrete indication

Applications

• Outdoor signal indicators
• Discrete LED indication
• Harsh environment signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as luminous intensity values may vary slightly between production batches or regional specifications. Confirm that the bulk packaging format aligns with your assembly requirements. Ensure compatibility with standard 4-mm oval mounting footprints. Cross-reference the exact part number suffix to guarantee the correct wavelength and intensity binning for your design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, moisture-resistant blue indicator is required for outdoor environments. The Screen Master series offers enhanced durability compared to standard LEDs due to its specialized epoxy construction. Consider the 4-mm oval dimensions for space-constrained designs requiring higher visibility. Evaluate the forward voltage and current requirements against your circuit design to ensure proper driver compatibility.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Screen Master family of 4-mm oval LEDs, which are engineered for reliability in harsh conditions. The BGY suffix indicates the blue color variant within this series. These components are distinct from surface-mount video screen LEDs, focusing instead on through-hole or radial-style discrete indication tasks where environmental resilience is critical.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 4-mm oval package, blue wavelength range (465-470nm), and similar luminous intensity. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility and electrical characteristics such as forward voltage. Generic blue LEDs may lack the specified moisture and temperature resistance provided by the optical-grade epoxy.
