C5SMF-BJE-CR0U0352

Overview

The C5SMF-BJE-CR0U0352 is a single-color blue LED from the Screen Master family, manufactured by Cree LED. It utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole package with an oval lens measuring 5.1 mm x 3.7 mm. The component emits light at a wavelength of 470 nm with a luminous intensity of 1100 mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 3.4 V and a forward current of 20 mA, resulting in a power rating of 140 mW. It features a viewing angle of 100 degrees by 40 degrees and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +95°C.

Feature Summary

• Designed specifically for variable-message signs and passenger-information displays
• Features an oval-shaped radiation pattern for wide-field illumination
• Provides high luminous intensity suitable for clear visibility

Applications

• Variable-message signs
• Passenger-information signs
• Public display systems

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity and datasheet alignment before integration. Confirm that the specific suffix CR0U0352 matches required electrical tolerances and binning specifications. Check for end-of-life status or obsolescence notices from the manufacturer. Ensure compatibility with existing through-hole assembly processes and thermal management requirements for the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide viewing angle and high brightness are required for direct-view signage applications. The oval lens shape distinguishes it from standard dome LEDs, offering specific beam distribution characteristics. Consider the 5 mm through-hole form factor for legacy board designs or specific mechanical mounting constraints requiring this package style.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master series, which focuses on high-performance indicators for public information displays. The C5SMF series represents the 5 mm oval LED variant, engineered to provide superior visibility compared to standard cylindrical lenses. It is distinct from surface-mount options like the XPEBBL series or smaller 4 mm variants.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers for this specific configuration are not available in the provided documentation. Verify cross-references with other manufacturers offering 5 mm oval blue LEDs with similar 470 nm wavelength and 1100 mcd intensity if replacement is necessary.
