CLM3A-BKW-CTBVA463

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The CLM3A-BKW-CTBVA463 is a single-color blue surface-mount LED from the Cree LED CLM3A series. It features a rectangular, non-diffused lens with a colorless appearance. The component operates at a forward current of 20 mA and a typical forward voltage of 3.1 V. It emits light at a peak wavelength of 470 nm to 473 nm with an optical intensity of 355 mcd to 628 mcd. The device has a power rating of 100 mW and dimensions of 2.7 mm in length, 2.0 mm in width, and a maximum height of 1.3 mm to 1.4 mm. It supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +100°C.

LED Indication - Discrete Feature Summary

• Utilizes a standard PLCC-2 (2-SMD) package with J-leads for reliable surface mount assembly.
• Features a rectangular, clear, non-diffused lens design for directed beam output.
• Engineered for high reliability performance under wide environmental conditions.

LED Indication - Discrete Applications

• General indicator lighting
• Panel status indication
• Electronic equipment signaling

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CTBVA463 against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact binning parameters for wavelength and intensity. Ensure compliance with MSL level 5A requirements regarding moisture sensitivity handling during storage and reflow soldering processes.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact blue indicator is required with a low profile. The 2.7mm x 2.0mm footprint fits standard SMD layouts. Consider the 120-degree viewing angle and non-diffused optics for applications requiring focused visibility.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This part belongs to the CLM3A family of single-color LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The series offers various color options including blue, green, and white variants within the same PLCC-2 form factor, allowing for consistent mechanical design across different product lines.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other CLM3A-BKW variants such as CLM3A-BKW-CUAVA453 for alternative intensity bins. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substituting with generic PLCC-2 blue LEDs.
