C5SMF-RJN-CV14QBB2

Overview

The C5SMF-RJN-CV14QBB2 is a single-color red LED from the Cree Screen Master family, designed for through-hole mounting in a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval package. It features a primary wavelength of 624 nm and a forward voltage of 2.1 V at a standard forward current of 20 mA. The component delivers a luminous intensity of 1310 mcd with a viewing angle of 100 degrees by 45 degrees. Rated for operation between -40°C and +95°C, it utilizes a water-clear lens to ensure high visibility in variable-message and passenger-information signage applications.

Feature Summary

• Engineered specifically for variable-message signs and passenger-information displays
• Provides high luminous intensity within an oval-shaped radiation pattern
• Features a wide viewing angle suitable for direct line-of-sight applications

Applications

• Variable-message traffic signs
• Passenger information display systems
• Public transit status indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CV14QBB2 against official Cree documentation to confirm binning and optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the T-1 3/4 package. Confirm supply chain availability as distribution status may vary by region. Cross-reference thermal management requirements with the specified operating temperature range.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-intensity red illumination is required for outdoor or industrial signage. The oval lens shape provides directional light control distinct from dome packages. Consider the 2.1 V forward voltage drop for circuit design efficiency. Verify that the 100x45 degree beam width meets the visibility requirements of the target installation environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C5SMF series, a line of 5-mm oval LEDs optimized for high-brightness signaling. The Screen Master branding indicates a focus on durability and performance for large-format display environments. It serves as a standard through-hole alternative to surface-mount options for legacy or robust signage designs requiring reliable red light output.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other C5SMF-series red LEDs such as C5SMF-RJE or C5SMF-RJF variants. Check datasheets for matching luminous intensity bins and forward voltage tolerances. Ensure physical dimensions align with the T-1 3/4 footprint before substitution.
