CLM2C-ACA-CYAA0253

Overview

The CLM2C-ACA-CYAA0253 is a single-color amber LED from the Cree LED CLM2C series, designed for surface-mount technology (SMD/SMT) applications. It features a PLCC-4 package with dimensions of 3.2 mm in length, 2.8 mm in width, and 3.52 mm in height. The component emits light at a dominant wavelength of 591 nm with a viewing angle of 30 degrees. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 20 mA, a forward voltage of 2.1 V, and a power rating of 182 mW. The optical intensity is rated at 1.8 cd. The lens is colorless, dome-shaped, non-diffused, and measures 2.45 mm. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C and is classified as MSL 5a.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes a compact PLCC-4 SMD package suitable for space-constrained designs
• Features a clear, non-diffused dome lens for focused light emission
• Engineered for high thermal stability across extended operating temperatures

Applications

• Channel letter lighting systems
• Architectural lighting fixtures
• Indicator lamps for electronic equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CYAA against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the exact wavelength and binning specifications. Ensure compliance with MSL 5a moisture sensitivity levels during storage and handling. Confirm RoHS status through the provided documentation before integration into final products.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a standard amber indicator with a narrow 30-degree beam angle. The PLCC-4 form factor allows for automated pick-and-place assembly. Consider the 2.1 V forward voltage drop when designing drive circuits. The non-diffused lens is optimal where directional visibility is prioritized over wide-area illumination.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree LED CLM2C family of PLCC4 1-in-1 SMD LEDs. The series includes variants in red and amber colors, sharing common mechanical dimensions and mounting standards. These components are widely used in commercial signage and architectural lighting due to their reliability and standardized footprint.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include CLM2C-RCA-CXbZ0BB3 and CLM2C-ACA-CYaA0253. Verify compatibility by comparing the dominant wavelength and forward voltage requirements of the circuit design against the candidate replacement parts.
