Description

Product Details

 

 

Cree LED CLM3C-WKW-CWbYa453 High-Intensity Cool White PLCC2 SMD for Commercial Signage. The Cree LED CLM3C-WKW series is a professional-grade cool white SMD LED, specifically engineered to provide high radiant intensity and long-term color stability in the industry-standard PLCC2 footprint. The CLM3C-WKW-CWbYa453 is the primary choice for manufacturers of channel letters, architectural backlighting, and industrial status indicators. Built on Cree's high-reliability platform, this component ensures that white light remains crisp and uniform across large-scale installations, even in fluctuating outdoor environments.

 

For LED module manufacturers and contract manufacturers (EMS), the CLM3C-WKW offers a low-risk, high-yield solution for automated SMT lines. Its robust package design and tight chromaticity binning allow fixture manufacturers to produce high-density light strips and edge-lit panels with zero visible color variance between individual modules.

Critical Engineering Advantages

 

 

  • Precision Intensity Binning (CWbYa): This SKU is binned for high luminous intensity (mcd) at a standard 20mA drive current. This ensures that signage and indicators achieve superior visibility in high-ambient light environments without excessive power consumption.
  • Industrial-Grade Lead-Frame Design: The PLCC2 package features an optimized thermal path that facilitates efficient heat transfer from the InGaN chip to the PCB. This minimizes junction temperature buildup, protecting the phosphor layer from premature yellowing and maintaining a stable CCT (Correlated Color Temperature).
  • Consistent Cool White Performance: Binned at the 453 chromaticity rank, this LED provides a clean "daylight" white without greenish or purplish tints-a critical requirement for premium corporate branding and advertising displays.
  • Rugged Encapsulation: Utilizing high-quality resin materials with integrated UV inhibitors, the CLM3C series resists yellowing and moisture ingress, ensuring an excellent L70 lifespan for 50,000+ hour municipal and commercial projects.

FAQ

Q: Is the CLM3C-WKW compatible with standard PLCC2 PCB layouts?

A: Yes. The 3.2 x 2.8 mm footprint is a global industry standard. It is a direct drop-in replacement for most signage and indicator designs currently using PLCC2 SMD LEDs.

Q: Can I drive the CWbYa453 higher than 20mA?

A: While binned at 20mA, the maximum continuous current is 30mA. For industrial-grade reliability (L70 lifespan), we recommend staying at the nominal 20mA, especially in high-density linear arrays.

Q: What is the benefit of the "CWbYa" binning code?

A: "CWb" and "Ya" represent specific ranges of luminous intensity. Sourcing this specific rank ensures that your production run has zero visible brightness variance between different reels of the same batch.

Q: How does Gainer LED handle MSL 5a storage?

A: All MSL 5a components are stored in climate-controlled environments and shipped in original vacuum-sealed moisture-barrier bags (MBB) with desiccant and a humidity indicator card.
