C5SMF-AJF-CS0V0252

Overview

The C5SMF-AJF-CS0V0252 is a Screen Master oval LED manufactured by Cree LED, designed for variable-message and passenger-information signs. It emits amber light at a dominant wavelength of 591 nm with a luminous intensity of 2100 mcd. The component features a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole package with dimensions of 5.1 mm length, 3.7 mm width, and 7 mm height. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 2.1 V at a forward current of 20 mA, resulting in a power rating of 130 mW. The viewing angle is specified as 100 degrees by 40 degrees, and it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +95°C.

Feature Summary

• Oval-shaped radiation pattern optimized for wide-angle visibility in signage applications
• High luminous intensity ensures excellent readability in outdoor environments
• Advanced optical-grade epoxy encapsulation provides resistance to high temperatures and moisture

Applications

• Variable-message signs (VMS)
• Passenger-information signs
• Electronic signs and signals (ESS)

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against the official Cree LED datasheet to ensure compatibility with required electrical and optical parameters. Confirm that the ordering code matches the intended lens style and intensity bin. Cross-reference the part number with the manufacturer's latest documentation to validate availability status and compliance with current RoHS standards before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when wide viewing angles are required for information displays. The oval shape and 100x40 degree beam spread suit applications needing broad horizontal visibility. Ensure the circuit design supports the 2.1 V forward voltage drop and 20 mA drive current. Consider the operating temperature range and environmental sealing requirements for outdoor installations.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Screen Master 5-mm Oval LED family from Cree LED. The series is engineered specifically for high-brightness signaling and display uses. The oval geometry distinguishes it from standard round LEDs, providing directional light distribution suitable for message boards and transit information systems requiring clear visual communication over wider fields of view.
