C503B-AAN-CY0C025

Overview

The C503B-AAN-CY0C0251 is a single-color amber light-emitting diode from the Cree LED series. It utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole package with two pins and features a clear, round lens with a domed top. The component operates at a forward voltage of 2.1 V and a maximum forward current of 20 mA. It emits light at a peak wavelength of 596 nm with an optical intensity of 5860 mcd. The device complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Emits distinct amber light suitable for visual indicators
• Features a standard 5 mm radial through-hole mounting style
• Constructed with a clear, transparent domed lens

Applications

• Visual status indication in electronic equipment
• Panel indicator lights for control interfaces
• General-purpose signal illumination in consumer devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete manufacturer part number against official Cree LED documentation to ensure accuracy, as suffixes define specific optical and electrical characteristics. Confirm that the required forward current and voltage parameters align with the target circuit design before procurement. Check for any recent product change notifications or lifecycle status updates directly from the manufacturer to avoid sourcing obsolete components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5 mm amber indicator is required for non-automotive applications. Ensure the circuit provides adequate current limiting for the specified 20 mA forward current. Consider the 2.1 V forward voltage drop when calculating series resistance. Verify that the through-hole footprint matches the PCB layout requirements for the T-1 3/4 package.

Part Context

This component belongs to the C503B family of single-color LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The series offers various color options and intensities within a standardized 5 mm through-hole form factor. This specific model represents the amber variant designed for general-purpose signaling where high brightness is not the primary requirement.
