CLM2D-RPC-CXBZ0BB3

Overview

The CLM2D-RPC-CXBZ0BB3 is a single-color surface-mount LED from the Cree CLM2D series, designed for channel letter and architectural lighting. It features a red light emission with a peak wavelength of 621 nm and a forward voltage of 2.1 V at a test current of 20 mA. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C and has a power rating of 182 mW. Its physical dimensions are 3.2 mm in length, with a round domed lens measuring 2.45 mm. The device provides a luminous intensity of 2.24 cd (2240 mcd) and a viewing angle of 30 degrees.

Feature Summary

• High reliability performance suitable for demanding environmental conditions
• Industry standard PLCC4 package design for consistent mounting
• Domed lens configuration optimized for directional light output

Applications

• Channel letter illumination
• Architectural lighting fixtures
• Signage applications requiring high visibility

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix CXBZ0BB3 against official Cree documentation to confirm exact binning parameters, including wavelength and intensity grades. Ensure that the requested component matches the required thermal management specifications for the intended application environment. Cross-reference datasheet values with supplier certificates to guarantee compliance with ISO standards mentioned in product descriptions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact SMD solution with high luminous intensity is required for outdoor or indoor signage. The 30-degree viewing angle and domed lens provide focused illumination suitable for channel letters. Consider the operating temperature range and power dissipation characteristics to ensure compatibility with the driving circuitry and thermal constraints of the final assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree CLM2D series, which utilizes a PLCC4 package format. The series is engineered for high reliability in both indoor and outdoor lighting applications. The CLM2D-RPC variant specifically denotes the red color option within this standardized surface-mount family, offering consistent performance across various architectural and commercial lighting projects.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the CLM2D-RPC series, such as CLM2D-RPC-CXAZ0BB3, though differences in intensity bins must be verified. No cross-family replacements are confirmed without detailed electrical matching.
