LED Indication - Discrete

LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are increasingly used in many areas, from consumer electronics to automotive to industrial applications. LED indicators offer numerous advantages over traditional indicators, such as incandescent lamps, including their energy efficiency, state indication, and range of colors. One particular type of LED indicator is the discrete LED indicator, commonly known by its serial number, C5SMF-BJN-CT14Q3T2.

Applications

Discrete LED indicators are typically used when a larger number of discreet LEDs is required, or when visual indication needs to be consistent and uniform. The C5SMF-BJN-CT14Q3T2 model is an excellent choice for a wide variety of applications due to its low-profile design, efficient temperature ranges, and easy installation. It is particularly suited for applications in which the entire indicator must remain visible, such as machine automation, panel lighting, and warning signals.

Physical Characteristics

The architecture of the C5SMF-BJN-CT14Q3T2 discrete LED indicator consists of a base plate, lens frame, screw-in housing, and plastic lens. The indicator has a viewing angle of 120° and a response time of 0.2 milliseconds. The lens diameter is 6.9 millimeters, with a thickness of 2.4 millimeters. The overall dimensions are 15 x 15 x 8.7 mm (L x W x H) and the operating temperature range is from -40 °C to +85 °C.

Optical Features

The C5SMF-BJN-CT14Q3T2 discrete LED indicator has both on-state and off-state LED brightness ratings. On-state LED brightness is rated at 10,000mcd, and the LED has a color temperature of 6500K, giving it a pure and consistent white light. The color temperature can be customized to fit the requirements of the application. The off-state LED brightness is rated at 100mcd.

Electrical Characteristics

The C5SMF-BJN-CT14Q3T2 discrete LED indicator is a direct-drive indicator that has a pre-wired DC power supply with a 12V converter. The operating voltage range is from 1.5V to 24V, and the maximum current is 60mA. The device has a low-power startup feature that allows it to start up quickly and with minimal power usage. It also has a built-in over-current protection feature that prevents damage to the device if the load is exceeded.

Working Principle

The working principle of the C5SMF-BJN-CT14Q3T2 discrete LED indicator is simple. The device contains an LED that is connected to a power supply, and when power is applied, the LED lights up. The intensity of the LED is determined by the current applied to it, and the brightness can be adjusted by changing the current. This allows for further customization of the indicator to suit the needs of the application.

Conclusion

The C5SMF-BJN-CT14Q3T2 discrete LED indicator is a reliable and cost-effective device for a range of applications. Its low-profile design and wide temperature range make it particularly suitable for machine automation and panel lighting applications. Furthermore, its low-power start up and over-current protection features make it an ideal choice for any LED indication requirement.
