C5SMF-BJN-CT14Q3T2

Overview

The C5SMF-BJN-CT14Q3T2 is a single-color blue light-emitting diode from the Screen Master series by Cree LED. It utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval through-hole package with dimensions of 5.1 mm x 3.7 mm and a height of 7 mm. The component emits at a peak wavelength of 470 nm with a forward voltage of 3.4 V at a test current of 20 mA. It offers a luminous intensity of 1100 mcd and a viewing angle of 100° x 40°. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +95°C and is rated for 140 mW power dissipation.

Feature Summary

• Features an oval lens design optimized for high-brightness visual signaling applications
• Provides consistent color performance with a specific 470 nm blue emission profile
• Supports standard through-hole mounting for reliable PCB integration

Applications

• Digital signage displays
• Information signs and message boards
• Advertising backlighting

Procurement Notes

Verify availability status as this component may be subject to end-of-life announcements or limited supply conditions. Confirm RoHS compliance details and check for any product change notifications prior to finalizing procurement plans. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required packaging configuration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-intensity blue indicator is required for signage or display applications. The oval shape and specific beam angle provide distinct visibility characteristics compared to round LEDs. Consider thermal management requirements given the 140 mW power rating and operating temperature limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C5SMF family of high-brightness LEDs designed for robust performance in demanding environments. The Screen Master series focuses on delivering superior color blending and directionality for commercial display solutions. It represents a legacy through-hole option within Cree's broader portfolio of surface-mount and specialized lighting components.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-references within the C5SMF series such as C5SMF-BJS variants. Verify if newer SMD alternatives like the CV28 family meet the mechanical and optical requirements for drop-in replacement scenarios.
