CLM1B-GKW-CVBXA793

Overview

The CLM1B-GKW-CVBXA793 is a single-color green surface-mount LED manufactured by Cree LED. It utilizes a PLCC-2 package with dimensions of 3.5 mm in length, 2.8 mm in width, and 1.4 mm in height. The component emits light at a peak wavelength of 525 nm with a viewing angle of 120 degrees. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 3.2 V at a forward current of 20 mA, resulting in a power rating of 60 mW. The device offers a luminous flux of 14 lm and meets RoHS compliance standards.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a high-efficiency green LED die within a compact PLCC-2 SMD footprint for space-constrained designs.
• Features a non-diffused lens providing a wide 120-degree viewing angle for broad visibility.
• Constructed with moisture sensitivity classification to ensure reliability during standard surface mount assembly processes.

Applications

• Status indicators on electronic control panels
• Backlighting for push-button switches
• Visual signaling in portable consumer devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific binning codes for wavelength and intensity when ordering, as these suffixes determine optical performance. Confirm that the PLCC-2 package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure that the forward current ratings are respected in the driver circuit design to maintain longevity and prevent thermal degradation of the semiconductor junction.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard green indicator is required in a low-profile surface-mount configuration. Compare the 14 lm output against application visibility needs. Consider the 3.2 V forward voltage drop when designing series resistor networks or constant current drivers. Verify compatibility with reflow soldering profiles specified in the official datasheet to avoid package damage.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree LED CLM1B family, which provides lighting-class reliability in a small form factor. The CLM1B series is designed for general illumination and indication applications where space is limited. It represents an evolution in SMD LED technology, offering improved thermal management compared to older discrete packages while maintaining standard pin configurations for easy integration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other PLCC-2 green LEDs from manufacturers such as Everlight or Kingbright. Ensure substitute parts match the 3.5 x 2.8 mm outline and 1.4 mm height. Verify that the replacement's forward voltage and luminous intensity fall within acceptable tolerances for the specific application circuit.
