CLM3A-MKW-CVBXA233

Overview

The CLM3A-MKW-CVBXA233 is a single-color warm white surface-mount LED from the Cree LED CLM3A-BKW series. It utilizes a PLCC-2 package with dimensions of 2.7 mm length, 2 mm width, and 1.3 mm height. The component emits light at a wavelength of 3000 K color temperature with a viewing angle of 120 degrees. Electrical characteristics include a forward current of 20 mA, a forward voltage of 3.2 V, and a power rating of 100 mW. The lens is tinted with a rectangular shape and clear transparency.

Feature Summary

• Compact PLCC-2 SMD package for space-constrained designs
• High reliability performance suitable for wide environmental conditions
• Non-diffused rectangular lens for directional light output

Applications

• General illumination lighting fixtures
• Indoor accent lighting applications
• Signage and display backlighting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CVBXA233 against official Cree LED documentation to confirm binning parameters and chromaticity coordinates. Ensure compatibility with standard PLCC-2 footprints during PCB layout. Confirm moisture sensitivity level requirements for reflow soldering processes prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact warm white source is required for general illumination or signage. Compare optical intensity and voltage drop against similar PLCC-2 variants like CLM3C-MKW. Consider thermal management needs given the 100 mW power rating and operating temperature range of -40 C to +100 C.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CLM3A-BKW family of single-color LEDs designed for high reliability. The series offers industry-standard packaging compatible with automated assembly processes. These components are engineered to provide consistent performance across various lighting applications requiring stable warm white emission.
