CLM1C-WKW-CVBXB153

Overview

The CLM1C-WKW-CVBXB153 is a white surface-mount LED from Cree LED, housed in a PLCC-2 package. It emits cool white light with a color temperature of 6800 K and a viewing angle of 120 degrees. The component operates at a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 3.2 V, with a power rating of 100 mW. Physical dimensions are 3.2 mm in length, 2.7 mm in width, and 1.95 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Flat-top package design facilitates mating with light pipes for customized lighting solutions.
• High-intensity light output combined with a wide 120-degree viewing angle.
• RoHS-compliant and lead-free construction suitable for diverse environmental conditions.

Applications

• Light strips
• Channel letters
• Backlighting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CVBXB153 against official Cree documentation to confirm the exact binning parameters, as ordering suffixes define precise electrical and optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with standard SMD reflow processes and check moisture sensitivity levels before assembly. Cross-reference datasheet limits for thermal management requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-intensity white illumination in compact spaces. The PLCC-2 form factor supports automated pick-and-place manufacturing. Consider the 120-degree viewing angle for broad distribution needs. Evaluate system-level thermal constraints given the 100 mW power rating and ensure drive circuits support the specified 20 mA forward current.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree PLCC white LED family, designed for general lighting and indicator applications. The series offers industry-standard packaging to simplify integration into existing PCB layouts. These LEDs provide reliable performance for linear, channel-letter, and backlighting uses across various environmental conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Cree substitution guides for verified equivalents. Generic PLCC-2 white LEDs may differ in luminous intensity or color temperature consistency. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substituting with other manufacturers' components.
