C5SMF-RJE-CT14QBB1

Overview

The C5SMF-RJE-CT14QBB1 is a single-color red LED from the Screen Master series, manufactured by Cree LED. It utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) radial package with an oval lens shape and through-hole mounting configuration. The component operates at a main wavelength of 624 nm, emitting red light. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 2.6 V and a luminous intensity of 2.6 cd. The device is designed for high-brightness applications, featuring a compact form factor suitable for space-constrained environments.

Feature Summary

• Oval lens design specifically engineered for variable-message signs to enhance visibility
• High brightness output optimized for bright sunlight conditions
• Energy-efficient operation suitable for low-power consumption outdoor applications

Applications

• Variable-message signs
• Outdoor signage requiring high visibility in bright sunlight
• Low-power consumption outdoor lighting applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure correct binning and optical characteristics. Confirm current product status as some listings indicate obsolete status. Cross-reference datasheet specifications for forward voltage and luminous intensity tolerances against application requirements. Ensure compatibility with through-hole PCB assembly processes. Check for any regional compliance certifications required for deployment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high visibility in direct sunlight is critical for signage applications. The oval lens provides a specific beam profile distinct from dome lenses. Consider the 2.6 V forward voltage drop for circuit design. Evaluate the 624 nm wavelength for color consistency within display systems. Ensure mechanical fit within the T-1 3/4 package constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Screen Master series, which focuses on high-performance LEDs for display and signage markets. The C5SMF-RJE variant denotes the red emission type within the broader C5SMF family. It shares the radial T-1 3/4 package format common across multiple colors in the series, differing primarily in semiconductor material and resulting optical properties.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing board layouts if considering alternative red LEDs from the same manufacturer series.
