C5SMF-GJE-CW34Q7T2

Overview

The C5SMF-GJE-CW34Q7T2 is a single-color green light-emitting diode manufactured by Cree LED. It utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole package with an oval lens shape measuring 5.10 mm x 3.70 mm. The component emits light at a dominant wavelength of 527 nm and provides a millicandela rating of 4725 mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 3.4 V, with a power rating of 140 mW. The lens features a domed top and clear transparency.

Feature Summary

• High-intensity green emission optimized for bright sunlight visibility
• Oval lens design with domed top for directional light distribution
• Through-hole construction suitable for robust mounting applications

Applications

• Outdoor digital signage and advertising displays
• Stadium screens and ribbons
• Full-color information signs
• High-brightness indication in harsh environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm optical and electrical parameters match project requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for T-1 3/4 packages. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required by regional regulations. Confirm availability status as product lifecycles may change. Validate datasheet revisions against current manufacturing standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high brightness and sunlight readability are critical. The 527 nm wavelength offers distinct green visibility. Consider the 20 mA forward current for power budgeting. The oval lens shape aids in specific beam angle requirements compared to round lenses. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 140 mW power rating. Compare intensity ratings against alternative LEDs for uniform display performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Screen Master series, designed for large-format video screens. It complements other high-brightness LEDs used in iconic global displays. The series focuses on reliability and image quality in demanding conditions. It supports the transition to smaller pixel pitches in modern signage solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 5 mm oval form factor and 527 nm wavelength. Verify equivalent millicandela ratings for visual consistency. Check forward voltage compatibility with existing driver circuits. Ensure mechanical pin spacing aligns with current board layouts.
