C503B-AAN-CA0C0341-015

Overview

The C503B-AAN-CA0C0341-015 is a 5-mm amber round through-hole LED from the C503B family, designed for high-readability outdoor applications. It features an advanced optical-grade epoxy encapsulation with UV inhibitors to ensure stable light output and resistance to high temperature and moisture. The component offers a 15-degree viewing angle and utilizes a domed lens shape. It is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, making it suitable for electronic signs, motorway signage, variable-message displays, advertising boards, and petrol station price signs.

Feature Summary

• Advanced optical-grade epoxy encapsulation provides superior resistance to high temperatures and high moisture levels.
• Encapsulation resin contains UV inhibitors to minimize degradation effects from long-term direct sunlight exposure.
• Domed lens shape combined with a 15-degree viewing angle ensures excellent readability in outdoor environments.

Applications

• Electronic Signs & Signals (ESS)
• Motorway Signs
• Variable-Message Sign (VMS)
• Advertising Signs
• Petrol Signs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CA0C0341-015 against official Cree LED documentation to confirm binning and optical characteristics. Note that similar part numbers within the C503B series may have different lifecycles or packaging configurations. Ensure compliance with RoHS requirements as stated in the datasheet. Cross-reference ordering information with authorized distributors to avoid obsolete or non-conforming stock.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15-degree beam angle is required for focused visibility in outdoor signage. The amber color and 5-mm form factor are standard for traffic and informational signals. Consider the UV-resistant epoxy for longevity in harsh environmental conditions. Compare luminous intensity ranges with other C503B variants like ACS or ABS if wider viewing angles are needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B family of 5-mm round LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The family includes red and amber options with varying viewing angles (15, 23, and 30 degrees). These LEDs are engineered specifically for outdoor sign and signal applications where durability and light output stability are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Designers should consult Cree LED directly for drop-in compatible alternatives or updated lifecycle status for this specific suffix configuration.
