Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm exact luminous intensity bins and color temperature tolerances. Ensure the ordering code matches the required elliptical lens style and 15-degree viewing angle specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly from the manufacturer's documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-intensity white illumination is required for outdoor or high-visibility applications. The 5 mm round form factor supports standard through-hole mounting processes. Consider the 4 V forward voltage drop for circuit design compatibility. The robust epoxy encapsulation ensures reliability in demanding environmental conditions compared to standard indicators.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree 5mm Round LED family, which utilizes specialized optical-grade materials to enhance durability.
