CLM3C-RKW-CUAVBAA3

Overview

The CLM3C-RKW-CUAVBAA3 is a red surface-mount LED from Cree LED, housed in a 2-PLCC package with J-leads. It emits light at a dominant wavelength of 624 nm with a forward voltage of 2.1 V at 20 mA. The component features a diffused white lens and delivers an intensity of 740 mcd. Its rectangular lens has a flat top design, measuring 2.70 mm in length, 2.00 mm in width, and 1.40 mm in maximum height.

Feature Summary

• Diffused lens provides wide viewing angle and uniform light distribution
• Standard configuration suitable for general indicator applications
• RoHS compliant construction

Applications

• Status indicators on electronic equipment
• Panel mount signaling devices
• Consumer appliance control interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CUAVBAA3 against the official datasheet to confirm lens diffusion and binning requirements. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for PLCC packages. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during storage and assembly to maintain device reliability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a red indicator with moderate intensity and a diffused appearance is required. The 2-PLCC form factor allows for compact PCB layouts. Consider the 2.1 V forward voltage drop for circuit design calculations. Verify thermal management needs based on the 100 mW power rating.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CLM3C series of single-color LEDs designed for high reliability. The series utilizes industry-standard PLCC packaging to facilitate automated assembly. These components are engineered for consistent performance across various environmental conditions typical in consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other CLM3C variants for different colors or intensities. Check manufacturer documentation for any pending product change notices affecting pinout or material composition before substituting.
