C5SME-RJN-CS0U0BB2

Overview

The C5SME-RJN-CS0U0BB2 is a single-color red LED from the Screen Master family, designed for through-hole mounting. It features an oval lens with water-clear transparency and emits light at a wavelength of 624 nm. The component operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.1 V, resulting in a power rating of 130 mW. Luminous intensity ranges from 770 to 2130 mcd. The physical dimensions are 4.2 mm in length, 3.1 mm in width, and 6.3 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Oval-shaped radiation pattern optimized for wide viewing angles
• High luminous intensity suitable for variable-message displays
• Water-clear lens enhances light transmission

Applications

• Variable-message signs
• Passenger-information signs
• Public transportation indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify end-of-life status and availability through authorized distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance and packaging type (bulk or ammo pack) against specific order requirements. Check for product change notifications that may affect pinout or optical characteristics before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-intensity red illumination with a wide horizontal viewing angle. Ensure the circuit design supports the specified 20 mA forward current and 2.1 V forward voltage. Consider the oval footprint dimensions for PCB layout compatibility with existing through-hole mounting structures.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree LED Screen Master series, which specializes in LEDs for signage and information displays. The family offers various colors and intensities tailored for public visibility. The C5SME variant specifically utilizes an oval lens shape to direct light efficiently across wide areas, distinguishing it from standard round LED packages.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Screen Master oval series include C4SME-RJS-CS0U0BB2 and S4SMS-RJY-CS0U0BB1. Verify matching wavelength, intensity binning, and mechanical dimensions before substitution. Cross-reference datasheets for any differences in viewing angle or thermal characteristics.
