CLM2D-APC-CXAZ0253

Overview

The CLM2D-APC-CXAZ0253 is a single-color amber LED from the Cree LED CLM2D-APC series, designed for surface-mount (SMD/SMT) installation. It features a dome-shaped, non-diffused colorless lens with a diameter of 2.45 mm and a viewing angle of 30 degrees. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C and has a maximum power rating of 182 mW. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 2.1 V at a forward current of 20 mA, producing an optical intensity of 1.8 cd at a peak wavelength of 590 nm. The package dimensions are 3.2 mm in length, 2.8 mm in width, and 3.52 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Amber light emission with a 590 nm peak wavelength
• Surface-mount design with a 30-degree viewing angle
• Non-diffused dome lens for focused light output
• High-temperature operation capability up to 100°C

Applications

• Indicator lights for electronic devices
• Instrument panel illumination
• Status signaling in control systems
• General-purpose visual indication

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct wavelength and binning specifications. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and reflow soldering processes. Check RoHS compliance documentation for regulatory adherence in target markets. Ensure compatibility with standard SMD pick-and-place equipment based on the reel or cut tape packaging format.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-intensity amber indicator is required for space-constrained PCB layouts. The 30-degree beam angle suits applications needing directed visibility rather than wide-area diffusion. Consider the 2.1 V forward voltage drop for circuit design efficiency. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 182 mW power rating and operating temperature limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CLM2D-APC series, which represents Cree LED's surface-mount amber LEDs optimized for general indication purposes. The series provides consistent color performance and reliability for commercial and industrial electronics. It complements other colors in the same footprint family for multi-status signaling designs.
