CLQ6A-FKW-C1L11R11H1BB7C4S3

Overview

The CLQ6A-FKW-C1L11R11H1BB7C4S3 is a multi-color RGB LED from Cree LED, packaged in an 8-SMD, No Lead configuration. It integrates Red (622nm), Green (528nm), and Blue (470nm) emitters within a single PLCC8 footprint. The device operates with forward voltages of 2.1V for Red, 3V for Green, and 3.1V for Blue. Designed for surface mount technology, it features a colorless lens and supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates three distinct primary colors (Red, Green, Blue) into a single compact SMD package for unified color mixing.
• Utilizes industry-standard PLCC8 packaging to facilitate automated surface mount assembly processes.
• Engineered with high brightness output and wide viewing angles suitable for visual indication applications.

Applications

• LED status indication on electronic circuit boards
• Backlighting for consumer electronics interfaces
• Visual signaling in industrial control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes such as C4S3 against official Cree LED documentation to ensure correct binning and wavelength specifications. Confirm moisture sensitivity level requirements and reflow soldering profile compatibility prior to procurement. Ensure storage conditions adhere to lead-free handling guidelines to maintain component integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-package RGB solution is required for space-constrained designs. The PLCC8 form factor allows for direct replacement or integration where standard footprints are preferred. Consider the specific forward voltage drops for driver circuit design to ensure proper current limiting and thermal management across all three color channels.

Part Context

This model belongs to the CLQ6A series of 3-in-1 SMD LEDs from Cree LED. These components are designed to provide high-performance multi-color lighting in a small outline package. The series is characterized by its ability to deliver consistent color mixing and high luminous intensity within a standardized footprint compatible with common PCB layouts.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other PLCC8 RGB LEDs from manufacturers such as Kingbright or Everlight, provided pinout compatibility and electrical parameters match. Verify mechanical dimensions and spectral characteristics to ensure optical performance equivalence in the final application.
