C503B-AAN-CA0C0342-015

Overview

The C503B-AAN-CA0C0342-015 is a single-color amber LED from the Cree series, designed for through-hole mounting in a 5mm (T-1 3/4) round package. It features a clear lens with a domed top and emits light at a wavelength of 590nm. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 2.1V at a test current of 20mA. It provides a viewing angle of 15 degrees, ensuring focused illumination suitable for indicator applications.

Feature Summary

• Produces high-intensity amber light for superior readability
• Features a round lens with a domed top design
• Supports standard through-hole installation methods

Applications

• General equipment status indication
• Panel-mounted visual signaling
• Electronic device power indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific bin codes for intensity and color to ensure compliance with project requirements. Confirm that the 20mA test current aligns with the target circuit design. Check RoHS certification status if environmental regulations apply. Ensure the 5mm diameter fits the designated PCB hole pattern.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a focused 15-degree beam is required for amber indication. The 2.1V forward voltage suggests compatibility with low-voltage logic circuits. Consider the 5mm round form factor for standard panel cutouts. Evaluate the 590nm wavelength against visibility requirements in the operating environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B series of 5mm round LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The series is known for providing reliable optical performance in compact packages. The AAN suffix typically denotes specific color and intensity characteristics within the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 5mm T-1 3/4 package, amber color, and 15-degree viewing angle. Verify forward voltage compatibility to prevent circuit damage. Cross-reference intensity bins to maintain consistent brightness levels across production batches.
