C5SMF-BJN-CR0U0452

Overview

The C5SMF-BJN-CR0U0452 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 device 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 x 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-angle visibility
• Provides high luminous intensity suitable for clear signage applications

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity and datasheet alignment before integration. Confirm that the specific suffix matches required optical and electrical tolerances. Check for end-of-life status or obsolescence notices as availability may be restricted. Ensure environmental compliance documentation is available for the target market.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide viewing angle and high brightness are required for outdoor or high-ambient-light signage. Compare against other C5SMF variants if different lens shapes or intensities are needed. Verify thermal management requirements given the 140 mW power rating and operating temperature limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Screen Master C5SMF series, which focuses on high-intensity oval LEDs for large-format displays. The series is engineered to provide superior optical control and lumen density compared to standard indicators, making it suitable for demanding visual information applications.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the C5SMF family with matching lens dimensions and electrical parameters. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints and mounting constraints when considering alternative packages.
