CLM1C-WKW-CWBXB153

Overview

The CLM1C-WKW-CWBXB153 is a cool white surface-mount LED from the Cree CLM1C series, housed in a standard 2-PLCC package. It emits light at a color temperature of 6800K with a typical forward voltage of 3.2V and a test current of 20mA. The component features a 120-degree viewing angle and delivers a luminous intensity of 1800mcd. Its physical dimensions are 3.20mm in length, 2.70mm in width, and a maximum height of 2.05mm. The device utilizes a round lens with a flat top design.

Feature Summary

• High-intensity light output within an industry-standard PLCC2 package
• Flat-top lens design facilitates mating with light pipes for customized lighting solutions
• Wide 120-degree viewing angle suitable for broad illumination needs

Applications

• Light strip illumination
• Channel letter signage
• Backlighting applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CWBXB153 to confirm the 1800mcd binning and 6800K color temperature requirements. Ensure compatibility with RoHS3 standards and MSL level 5A handling procedures during assembly. Confirm that the 2-PLCC footprint matches the target PCB layout before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard SMD form factor is required for channel letters or linear lighting. The 6800K cool white output provides high brightness perception. Consider the 3.2V forward voltage drop for driver circuit design. The flat-top lens is advantageous for optical coupling compared to domed lenses in specific light pipe configurations.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree CLM1C series of PLCC white LEDs, designed for general indication and low-power lighting. The series offers various color temperatures and intensities within the same mechanical footprint. The CLM1C designation indicates a 2-lead PLCC package, distinguishing it from the larger CLM3C or CLM4B variants.
