C4SMC-BGF-CS0U0352

Overview

The C4SMC-BGF-CS0U0352 is a high-power LED module from Cree's C4SMC series, designed for demanding lighting applications. It integrates multiple LEDs on a compact substrate to deliver high luminous flux in a small form factor. The device utilizes blue pump technology with phosphor conversion to produce warm white light, specifically optimized for color consistency and efficiency. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage typically ranging between 18V and 22V at rated current, supporting constant current drive configurations. Thermal management is critical, with the module designed for direct attachment to heat sinks to maintain junction temperature within specified limits, ensuring long-term reliability and stable photometric performance under continuous operation.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific binning codes for luminous flux and chromaticity coordinates prior to ordering, as these vary by production lot. Ensure that the thermal interface material and mounting hardware are compatible with the module's base plate specifications. Confirm that the driver circuitry provides stable constant current output within the recommended operating range to prevent premature degradation. Request detailed test reports if strict photometric tolerances are required for your specific application design.

Selection Notes

Select this module based on the required lumen output and spatial constraints of the luminaire design. Evaluate the thermal resistance of the intended heat sink to ensure the junction temperature remains within safe operating limits at maximum drive current. Consider the optical system requirements, as the module's emission profile may necessitate specific lens or reflector designs to achieve desired beam angles. Verify compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mounting standards to facilitate seamless integration into the final product assembly.

Part Context

This component belongs to Cree's C4SMC family, which represents a line of high-performance LED modules engineered for general illumination. The series is known for combining high efficacy with reliable thermal performance, addressing the needs of modern solid-state lighting systems. Modules in this family are typically used as primary light sources in replaceable lamp assemblies or integrated directly into fixed luminaires. The C4SMC-BGF variant specifically denotes the color point and packaging configuration, distinguishing it from other members of the series with different spectral outputs or physical dimensions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the footprint, pinout, and thermal characteristics of the original module. Verify that substitute parts offer comparable luminous flux and color stability to maintain system performance. Check for any differences in forward voltage requirements to ensure driver compatibility. Consult manufacturer cross-reference guides for officially approved equivalents that meet the same technical specifications and regulatory standards.
