C5SMF-AJN-CT0U0342

Overview

The C5SMF-AJN-CT0U0342 is a single-color amber LED from the Screen Master family, designed for through-hole mounting. It features a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval lens with dimensions of 5.1 mm x 3.7 mm and a maximum height of 10.95 mm. The component emits light at a primary wavelength of 591 nm with a typical forward voltage of 2.1 V at a test current of 20 mA. It provides a luminous intensity of 1615 mcd and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Engineered with an oval-shaped radiation pattern specifically optimized for wide viewing angles in variable-message signs.
• Delivers high luminous intensity suitable for passenger-information displays requiring clear visibility.
• Constructed with a tinted amber lens and water-clear transparency for standardized color output.

Applications

• Variable-message signs
• Passenger-information signs
• Traffic control indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CT0U0342 against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm exact binning and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with existing through-hole assembly processes. Check for end-of-life status or product change notifications prior to finalizing design-in decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide-viewing-angle amber indicator is required for signage applications. Compare luminous intensity and forward voltage requirements against circuit constraints. Consider the physical dimensions of the 5 mm oval package for PCB layout clearance and mechanical fitment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master C5SMF series, which specializes in oval LEDs for display applications. The series is characterized by its unique radiation pattern and high brightness, distinguishing it from standard round LEDs used in general illumination.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution lists for compatible Screen Master variants. Verify that any alternative maintains the same 591 nm wavelength and 5 mm oval footprint to ensure optical and mechanical interchangeability.
