CLP6C-RKW-CZ0A0AA3

Overview

The CLP6C-RKW-CZ0A0AA3 is a single-color red LED from Cree LED, designed for surface mount applications. It features a PLCC-6 package with a round flat lens and clear colorless transparency. The component operates at a forward current of 50 mA with a typical forward voltage of 2.4 V. It emits light at a dominant wavelength of 624 nm, providing an optical intensity of 4.8 cd. The power rating is specified at 240 mW, suitable for high-intensity output in compact designs.

Feature Summary

• High-intensity red emission optimized for saturated color output
• Surface mount PLCC-6 package design for automated assembly
• Clear round flat lens structure for directional light distribution

Applications

• Bright sunlight readable indicator displays
• Low-power consumption outdoor lighting systems
• Next-generation horticulture luminaires requiring efficient red spectrum

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct binning and packaging configuration matches your requirements. Confirm that the PLCC-6 package dimensions align with your PCB footprint. Check RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Ensure the forward current and voltage parameters are compatible with your driver circuitry before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a saturated red output is required for high-visibility applications. The 624 nm wavelength provides high contrast suitable for international display standards. Consider the 50 mA forward current requirement for thermal management and driver selection. The PLCC-6 form factor offers a balance between optical performance and board space efficiency compared to larger packages.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CLP6C series of SMD LEDs from Cree LED. The series is characterized by its robust construction and consistent optical performance across various environmental conditions. The specific model utilizes a standard red LED chip encapsulated in a transparent epoxy lens within a six-pin leaded plastic package.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other PLCC-6 red LEDs with similar 624 nm wavelength and 50 mA current ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions before swapping. Alternative models may offer different intensity bins or lens shapes but must match the electrical specifications for direct replacement.
