C4SMF-AJF-CT0V0251

Overview

The C4SMF-AJF-CT0V0251 is a high-power surface-mount LED from Cree's C4SMF series, designed for general illumination and task lighting applications. It utilizes a compact 3535 package format to deliver efficient light output in space-constrained designs. The device operates with a forward voltage typical of standard white LEDs and supports multiple binning options for color consistency. This component integrates a phosphor-converted white die on a metal core PCB substrate to enhance thermal management and optical performance.

Feature Summary

• Compact 3535 surface-mount footprint suitable for dense array configurations
• Integrated phosphor conversion for broad-spectrum white light emission
• Metal core printed circuit board substrate for improved heat dissipation

Applications

• General area lighting fixtures
• Task lighting systems
• Commercial indoor illumination

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific binning codes (color temperature, chromaticity, and forward voltage) required for your design against the manufacturer's current binning chart. Ensure thermal interface materials are compatible with the metal core substrate. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the desired lumen maintenance and color consistency specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor is critical for the optical engine design. Evaluate the thermal resistance of the host PCB to ensure the junction temperature remains within safe operating limits. Consider the available drive currents and the resulting luminous flux versus efficiency trade-offs for the specific application requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C4SMF family, which represents Cree's advanced surface-mount technology for high-density lighting solutions. The series focuses on providing high efficacy in a standardized package size, allowing designers to scale brightness by increasing the number of devices per unit area without changing the mechanical layout significantly.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 3535 package dimensions and pin configuration. Verify that alternative components offer comparable thermal resistance and luminous flux at similar drive currents. Check for compatibility with existing driver circuits regarding forward voltage ranges.
