C5SME-RJN-CS14QBB1

Appication Field and Working Principle of C5SME-RJN-CS14QBB1

The C5SME-RJN-CS14QBB1 from COTCO is a LED indication discrete with a clear dome. It is manufactured in black color and its diameter is 28mm. It is rated for 12V and its current consumption is 4mA (Max). It has 4 pins with faston connection and LED orientation.

Application Field

Due to its superior visibility with a clear dome, the C5SME-RJN-CS14QBB1 can be used in a wide range of applications such as automotive, machine control, commercial and electronics products. In automotive application, the most common use of this LED indication discrete is for the dashboard or the warning lamps. It helps in displaying the warnings to the driver with the bright indication which is clearly visible even in the night times.

In machine control applications, this LED indication discrete is used for machine indicator, alarm and status indicators. This indicator is suitable for multiple voltage systems as it can operate at high and low voltage levels with variations in current as per the required application.

It is also used for commercial and electronics products. It is often used in PCB-mounted products and controls for multiple-state visual indication. It is also used for manufacturing testing, process monitoring and for warning the users of any dangerous activities in the system.

Working Principle

The C5SME-RJN-CS14QBB1 works on the principle of a halogen lamp. This module uses a halogen lamp to create a very bright yellow light which is then reflected off of a transparent dome to provide an even diffusion of the light. The dome is also responsible for dissipating the heat generated by the lamp.

It also uses a varying current source to vary the intensity of the illumination without changing the lamp\'s power consumption. This also helps in saving energy. The LEDs on the board are programmed to be lit at some particular current levels and turn on and off depending on the varying current source.

It also uses a reverse blocking diode to protect the LED from short circuit caused by the lamp\'s reaction to high voltage. This diode will allow only the right amount of current to flow through the LED and limit its current consumption. This ensures that the LED\'s lifespan is extended.
