C4SMB-BGF-CS44Q3C2

LED Indication - Discrete is a light-emitting diode (LED) technology which provides a means of displaying information without the need for an external display device. This type of LEDs are used in a variety of applications, including indicators for on/off, power levels, signals, flag indicators, and alarms. One of the most popular products in this category is the C4SMB-BGF-CS44Q3C2, which is designed for a range of indicator applications.

Description

The C4SMB-BGF-CS44Q3C2 is a medium-sized LED element specifically designed for indicator applications. It is an AlGaInP LED in a molded plastic housing, with a clear lens. The LED has a bright red color and a typical viewing angle of 140°. The LED has a voltage rating of 2.8V and a maximum current of 20mA. The LED is also UV- and SSW-resistant, and is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 125°C.

Application Field

The C4SMB-BGF-CS44Q3C2 LED is commonly used in a range of applications, including alarm and indication signals, flag indicators, and on/off indicators. It can also be used for marker light applications, such as in factories and warehouses, to indicate the location of goods and equipment. The LED is also suitable for use in outdoor applications, thanks to its UV- and SSW-resistant properties.

Working Principle

LEDs operate using the process of electroluminescence, which is the generation of light from electrical energy. This process occurs when electrons move from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, releasing energy in the form of light. The energy released is in proportion to the difference between the two energy levels.

LEDs require a forward voltage and current in order to operate. The current is determined by the shape of the voltage/current curve of the LED. The C4SMB-BGF-CS44Q3C2 has a voltage curve which rises exponentially as the current increases, so the current must be carefully controlled to ensure the LED does not become damaged.

Conclusion

The C4SMB-BGF-CS44Q3C2 is a versatile LED designed for indicator applications. It is suitable for use in a variety of environments, including indoors and outdoors, and is UV- and SSW-resistant. The LED is powered by the process of electroluminescence, and requires a specific forward voltage and current in order to operate.
