C5SMF-BJN-CT34Q3T2

Overview

The C5SMF-BJN-CT34Q3T2 is a Screen Master oval LED manufactured by Cree LED, designed for variable-message and passenger-information signs. It features an amber illumination color with a dominant wavelength of 591 nm. The component utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole package with dimensions of 5.1 mm length, 3.7 mm width, and 7 mm height. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 2.1 V at a forward current of 20 mA, resulting in a power rating of 130 mW. It delivers a luminous intensity of 2100 mcd with a viewing angle of 100 degrees x 40 degrees. The lens is tinted amber and water clear, operating within a temperature range of -40 C to +95 C.

Feature Summary

• Oval-shaped radiation pattern optimized for wide-angle visibility in signage applications
• High luminous intensity ensures excellent readability in outdoor environments
• Advanced optical-grade epoxy encapsulation provides resistance to high temperature and moisture

Applications

• Variable-message signs (VMS)
• Passenger-information signs
• Electronic signs and signals (ESS)

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact binning and packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding the T-1 3/4 through-hole footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for the assembly process before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when wide-viewing angles and high brightness are required for legible outdoor signage. The amber color and oval shape provide superior directional light distribution compared to standard round LEDs. Consider the thermal management capabilities and operating temperature range for harsh environmental conditions typical in transportation and public information displays.
