CLM3C-MKW-CWAXB233

Overview

The CLM3C-MKW-CWAXB233 is a warm white surface-mount LED from Cree LED, designed for indicator applications. It features a PLCC-2 package with J-leads and measures 2.70mm x 2.00mm x 1.40mm. The component emits light at a color temperature of 3200K with a forward voltage of 3.2V at a test current of 20mA. It provides an intensity of 1960mcd and utilizes a diffused yellow lens.

Feature Summary

• Features a standard PLCC-2 package with J-shaped leads for reliable surface mounting.
• Incorporates a diffused lens to provide wide-angle illumination suitable for indicators.

Applications

• Status indication in electronic devices
• Panel indicator lighting
• General-purpose signal indication

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CWAXB233 against official datasheets to confirm the exact binning and optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with RoHS3 standards and check moisture sensitivity level (MSL) ratings before storage and reflow soldering processes to maintain component integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 2-pin SMD form factor is required for low-power signaling. The 3200K warm white output is appropriate for environments requiring softer ambient lighting compared to cool white alternatives. Confirm that the 1960mcd intensity meets visibility requirements for the intended application distance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CLM3C series of single-color LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The series is characterized by high reliability and standardized packaging dimensions, facilitating easy integration into existing PCB layouts designed for PLCC-2 footprints.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution lists for compatible variants within the CLM3C family. Verify pinout and thermal specifications before replacing with other PLCC-2 LEDs to ensure electrical and mechanical compatibility.
