• Features an oval-shaped radiation pattern optimized for wide-area visibility
• Utilizes high-intensity blue emission technology for clear signal indication

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity and datasheet revisions prior to integration. Confirm that the specific suffix matches required optical and electrical tolerances. Check end-of-life status and availability constraints as distribution channels may vary by region. Ensure handling procedures comply with manufacturer guidelines for lead-free soldering and thermal management during assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when oval beam geometry is required for uniform illumination in signage applications. Compare against standard round LEDs if wider horizontal viewing angles are necessary. Verify forward voltage compatibility with driving circuits to ensure stable operation at 20 mA. Consider environmental ratings for outdoor or industrial installations requiring extended temperature tolerance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C5SMF Screen Master family, which specializes in 5-mm oval LEDs for high-visibility information displays.
