C503B-AAN-CY0C0251

Overview

The C503B-AAN-CY0C0251 is a single-color amber LED from the Cree LED series, designed for through-hole mounting in a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) package. It features a round lens with a domed top and clear transparency. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 2.1 V at a test current of 20 mA, with a maximum power dissipation rating of 120 mW. The device emits light at a peak wavelength of 596 nm and provides an optical intensity of 5860 mcd. It has a standard two-pin configuration.

Feature Summary

• Emits distinct amber light suitable for visual indicators
• Features a clear, colorless dome-shaped lens for direct visibility
• Designed for reliable through-hole PCB integration

Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Visual signaling devices
• Instrumentation displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CY0C0251 against official Cree documentation to confirm exact binning and optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management designs, as the component operates within a 120 mW power limit. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements align with project specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-intensity amber indicator is required for through-hole assemblies. The 5860 mcd output ensures visibility in various lighting conditions. Consider the 2.1 V forward voltage drop for circuit design calculations. Verify that the 5 mm diameter footprint fits the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B family of single-color LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The series offers various color options and intensities for general indication purposes. The C503B-AAN variant specifically targets applications requiring amber illumination with standardized mechanical dimensions for easy replacement in legacy designs.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Cree databases for verified substitutes. Cross-reference pinout and luminous intensity if replacing with generic equivalents.
