C5SMF-AJF-CU0V0342

Overview

The C5SMF-AJF-CU0V0342 is a single-color amber LED from Cree LED, designed for through-hole mounting in T-1 3/4 (5 mm) packages. It emits light at a wavelength of 591 nm with a luminous intensity of 2100 mcd. The component operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.1 V, featuring a power rating of 130 mW. The lens is tinted amber with clear transparency, measuring 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm in an oval shape. It supports a viewing angle of 70 degrees by 35 degrees and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Features a tinted amber oval lens with clear transparency for distinct visual indication.
• Provides high luminous intensity suitable for bright sunlight or low-power outdoor applications.
• Utilizes a standard T-1 3/4 radial lead frame for reliable through-hole integration.

Applications

• Outdoor indicator lights requiring visibility in bright sunlight
• Low-power consumption signaling devices
• Next-generation horticulture luminaire status indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct wavelength and binning specifications. Confirm that the T-1 3/4 package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Check RoHS compliance documentation for environmental regulations. Note that availability may vary as this component type is subject to lifecycle changes; consult authorized distributors for current stock status and lead times before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high visibility in ambient light conditions is required due to its 2100 mcd intensity. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 2.1 V forward voltage drop at 20 mA. The oval lens shape directs light in a 70° x 35° pattern, which should be considered for optical alignment. Verify thermal management capabilities given the +85°C maximum operating temperature limit for long-term reliability in enclosed environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C5SMF series of standard LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. It is categorized under single-color amber LEDs, specifically designed for general indication purposes. The series utilizes a T-1 3/4 package format, common in legacy and industrial electronics. It represents a discrete LED solution for panel mounting and through-hole PCB assembly, distinct from surface-mount alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other amber LEDs in the T-1 3/4 package format if direct substitution is needed. Verify matching electrical parameters such as forward voltage and current ratings. Ensure mechanical compatibility with existing hole patterns and lens dimensions. Consult manufacturer obsolescence notices for alternative part numbers within the same product line.
