CLM1B-GKW-CWAXA793

Overview

The CLM1B-GKW-CWAXA793 is a single-color green surface-mount LED from the Cree LED PLCC2 series. It features a 2-SMD, J-lead package with dimensions of 3.2mm x 2.8mm and a maximum height of 1.50mm. The device emits light at a dominant wavelength of 527nm with a typical forward voltage of 3.1V to 3.2V at a test current of 20mA. It offers a luminous intensity of 1680mcd and has a non-diffused, colorless lens with a flat-top emitting surface designed for efficient coupling with light pipes.

Feature Summary

• Flat-top emitting surface facilitates mating with light pipes
• Non-diffused clear lens provides direct visibility
• Standard PLCC2 SMD form factor for automated assembly

Applications

• Indicator lights in consumer electronics
• Status indication in industrial control panels
• Low-power outdoor applications requiring bright sunlight visibility

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CWAXA793 against the official Cree LED datasheet to confirm exact wavelength binning and forward voltage characteristics. Ensure compatibility with RoHS3 and REACH regulations as specified in the component documentation. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 5A) handling requirements during storage and reflow soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard green indicator with high brightness (1680mcd) is required. The 3.1V forward voltage suits low-voltage logic interfaces. The PLCC2 package allows for compact PCB layouts. Consider the flat-top design if optical coupling via light pipes is part of the system architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CLM1B/GKW series of Cree LED PLCC2 1-in-1 SMD LEDs. These components are designed for general illumination and indication purposes, offering a balance between performance and ease of use for lighting manufacturers. The series supports various color options within the same mechanical footprint.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other PLCC2 green LEDs with similar 527nm wavelength and 3.1V forward voltage. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal management requirements before substitution. Cross-reference with Cree LED's official replacement guide for equivalent performance metrics.
