C535A-WJN-CV0W0231

Overview

The Cree LED C535A-WJN-CV0W0231 is a standard through-hole light-emitting diode belonging to the Screen Master product family. It features a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) package with an oval lens shape and water-clear surface finish. The component emits white illumination with a correlated color temperature of 3500K. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 2.1 V and a maximum forward current rating of 20 mA. The device has a power dissipation rating of 130 mW and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +95°C.

Feature Summary

• Oval-shaped radiation pattern designed for wide-angle visibility
• Water-clear lens construction for high optical transmission
• Through-hole mounting configuration for standard PCB integration

Applications

• Variable-message signs
• Passenger-information displays
• Transportation signage systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific binning codes for color consistency and luminous intensity prior to procurement. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required thermal and optical specifications for the target application. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives as indicated in official documentation. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet to validate availability and lead times through authorized distribution channels.

Selection Notes

Select this component when wide viewing angles are required for legibility in signage applications. The 5 mm oval form factor provides compatibility with existing through-hole layouts while offering enhanced directionality compared to round lenses. Evaluate the 3500K color temperature against ambient lighting conditions to ensure optimal contrast and readability for information display purposes.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master family, which specializes in LEDs optimized for outdoor and industrial signage. The family utilizes advanced phosphor technology to deliver consistent color performance across varying operating temperatures. These components are engineered for durability and long-term reliability in demanding environmental conditions typical of public information displays.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Cree LED substitution guides for verified drop-in replacements. Generic equivalents may not match the specific oval beam profile or color consistency requirements of the Screen Master series.
