C503B-ABS-CW0X0341

Overview

The C503B-ABS-CW0X0341 is a single-color amber LED from the Cree series, utilizing a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) radial package. It features a clear lens with a round shape and emits light at a peak wavelength of 591 nm. The component has a maximum forward current rating of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.1 V. Luminous intensity is specified at 5000 mcd, with a viewing angle of 30 degrees. Power dissipation is rated at 130 mW, operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Amber emission with high luminous intensity for visibility
• Through-hole mounting in standard 5 mm T-1 3/4 package
• Clear round lens design for consistent light distribution

Applications

• Indicator lights for electronic equipment
• Status displays in control panels
• General illumination in low-power applications

Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before integration. Confirm that the specific suffix CW0X0341 matches required optical and electrical parameters. Check for end-of-life or not-recommended-for-new-designations in current distributor catalogs to ensure long-term supply availability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5 mm amber indicator is required with moderate brightness. Ensure circuit design accommodates the 2.1 V forward voltage drop at 20 mA. Compare against other Cree 5 mm variants if different wavelengths or intensities are needed for specific visual requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B family of 5 mm LEDs produced by Cree LED. The family includes various colors and intensities, all sharing similar mechanical dimensions. This specific model focuses on amber output suitable for general-purpose signaling where standard visibility is sufficient.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' 5 mm amber LEDs with matching 2.1 V forward voltage and 20 mA current ratings. Verify pin compatibility and luminous intensity requirements before swapping. Cross-reference with C503B-ACN-CX0Y0251 for similar form factor but different electrical characteristics.
