C5SMF-BJE-CR0U0351

Overview

The C5SMF-BJE-CR0U0351 is a single-color blue LED from the Cree Screen Master family, designed for through-hole mounting in T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval packages. It emits light at a wavelength of 470 nm with a luminous intensity of 1100 mcd. The component operates at a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 3.4 V, with a power rating of 140 mW. Physical dimensions include a lens size of 5.1 mm x 3.7 mm, a height of 7 mm, and a tinted clear lens. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +95°C.

Feature Summary

• Features an oval-shaped radiation pattern optimized for wide viewing angles.
• Designed specifically for high-brightness variable-message and passenger-information signs.
• Utilizes a tinted lens to enhance contrast and visibility in demanding environments.

Applications

• Variable-message signs
• Passenger-information displays
• Public transit signage

Procurement Notes

Verify availability status as this component may be discontinued or subject to supply constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance details through official manufacturer documentation before integration. Ensure ordering suffixes match exact optical and packaging requirements. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm parameter consistency. Validate thermal management capabilities against application-specific operating temperatures.

Selection Notes

Select this component when wide-angle blue illumination is required for informational displays. The 100-degree horizontal viewing angle supports broad visibility without precise alignment. Compare luminous intensity requirements against alternative models in the C5SMF series. Consider the through-hole package compatibility with existing PCB layouts. Evaluate the tinted lens option for improved readability in bright ambient conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master C5SMF series, which specializes in oval LEDs for transportation and information signage. The series provides standardized form factors for consistent assembly across various display applications. The C5SMF-BJE variant specifically denotes blue emission with through-hole construction. This family ensures reliable performance in public infrastructure and vehicle-mounted display systems.

Replacement Considerations

C5SMF-BJS-CR0U0352: Similar blue oval LED with comparable electrical characteristics but potentially different lens styling or binning. Verify optical intensity and viewing angle specifications match application requirements before substitution.
