• Advanced optical-grade epoxy for high temperature and moisture resistance

Applications

• Torch Light
• Strip Channel Letter
• Retail Display Lighting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CW0Y0232 against official datasheets to confirm exact binning parameters, as generic family data may not reflect precise chromaticity or intensity variations. Confirm current availability status, as this part number has been marked as discontinued in some records. Ensure compatibility with existing 5-mm through-hole mounting requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-intensity cool white illumination is required for outdoor or high-visibility applications. The 55-degree beam angle suits directional lighting needs. Verify that the 9000 K color temperature aligns with design specifications, as it is significantly cooler than standard neutral white options. Ensure adequate thermal management despite the robust epoxy construction.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree 5-mm Round LED series, designed for general indication and illumination. The series is known for reliability in harsh environments due to its epoxy lens material. It serves as a legacy option for designs requiring through-hole mounting with high brightness output compared to smaller surface-mount alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. As the part is listed as discontinued, consult Cree LED for current equivalent recommendations within the XLamp or other active families.
