CLM2C-ACA-CXBA0253

Overview

The CLM2C-ACA-CXBA0253 is a single-color amber LED from the Cree LED portfolio, designed for surface-mount technology (SMD) applications. It features a PLCC-4 package with dimensions of 3.2 mm in length, 2.8 mm in width, and 3.76 mm in height. The component emits light at a peak wavelength of 590 nm with a viewing angle of 30 degrees. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 2.1 V and a forward current rating of 20 mA, resulting in a power rating of 182 mW. The optical output provides an intensity of 1.8 cd. The lens is colorless and dome-shaped with non-diffused transparency.

Feature Summary

• Surface-mount design utilizing a compact PLCC-4 package for automated assembly
• Amber emission with a 30-degree viewing angle for directional indication
• Dome-shaped colorless lens providing non-diffused light transmission

Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Control board signaling
• Equipment operational feedback

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct binning for wavelength and intensity matches the design requirements. Confirm that the PLCC-4 footprint aligns with the PCB land pattern. Check moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profiles against the manufacturer's datasheet to prevent thermal damage during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile amber indicator is required for surface-mount circuits. The 20 mA forward current rating suits standard logic-level driving interfaces. Ensure the 30-degree beam angle meets visibility constraints. Consider the 3.76 mm height limit for enclosure clearance. Verify ambient temperature ranges if operating near the maximum rated limit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CLM2C series of high-brightness LEDs optimized for general indication purposes. The series offers various colors and intensities within the same PLCC-4 form factor. It represents a standard solution for visual signaling in consumer electronics and industrial control panels where space efficiency is prioritized.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other PLCC-4 amber LEDs from Cree or competitors. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions before substitution. Ensure electrical parameters such as forward voltage and current ratings are compatible with existing drive circuits.
