Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. Availability is restricted to remaining stock or secondary market sources. Verify end-of-life notifications and product change notices before integration. Sourcing requires confirmation of authenticity and storage conditions due to the discontinuation status.

Selection Notes

Engineers should evaluate alternative components from the same Screen Master family or newer generations due to the part's discontinued status. Ensure replacement options match the required 5mm oval form factor and electrical characteristics. Cross-reference datasheets to confirm compatibility with existing PCB footprints and optical requirements.

Part Context

Part of the Cree Screen Master 5-mm Oval LED series, designed specifically for high-visibility outdoor and indoor signage. The family offers enhanced reliability and drop-in compatibility with competing oval LED designs. This specific model represents a legacy green variant within the broader portfolio of high-brightness discrete LEDs.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official EOL notifications for recommended substitute part numbers. Verify that alternatives maintain the 5mm oval dimensions and 527nm emission wavelength. Check for updated thermal and electrical specifications to ensure seamless design migration.
