C5SMF-RJE-CU34QBB1

Overview

The C5SMF-RJE-CU34QBB1 is a red single-color light-emitting diode from the Screen Master series by Cree LED. It utilizes a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) radial through-hole package with an oval lens shape. The component operates at a forward voltage of 2.6 V and emits light at a peak wavelength of 624 nm. It is designed for high-brightness applications, featuring a maximum forward current rating of 50 mA. The device is supplied in bulk packaging and supports standard PCB mounting techniques for indicator and signage circuits.

Feature Summary

• Engineered specifically for variable-message signs and passenger-information displays
• Features a 5 mm oval lens design optimized for directional visibility
• Supports high-intensity operation with a 50 mA maximum forward current rating

Applications

• Variable-message signs
• Passenger-information signs
• High-brightness status indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific binning codes associated with the CU34 suffix to ensure compatibility with required brightness and wavelength tolerances. Confirm that the bulk packaging format aligns with available automated placement equipment or manual assembly workflows. Cross-reference the active product status with current supply chain availability to mitigate potential obsolescence risks during production planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high luminous intensity is required for long-distance readability in signage applications. The 50 mA current capability distinguishes it from standard 20 mA LEDs, offering greater brightness output. Ensure the driving circuit can handle the thermal implications of higher current operation within the specified temperature range of -40°C to +95°C.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Screen Master family of 5 mm oval LEDs, which are distinct from dome-shaped variants. The RJE designation indicates a red emission color with specific electrical characteristics tailored for commercial display environments. It complements other colors in the series such as green and blue for multi-color information systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include C5SMF-RJE-CU14QBB1 and C5SMF-RJE-CU34QBB2, which share identical mechanical dimensions and electrical profiles but may differ in binning specifications. Verify optical performance requirements before swapping between these variants.
