C503B-ABS-CY0Z0342

Overview

The C503B-ABS-CY0Z0342 is a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) amber light-emitting diode from Cree LED. It features a clear lens and radial through-hole mounting configuration. The device operates with a forward voltage of 2.6 V at a maximum forward current of 50 mA, while maintaining a maximum power dissipation of 130 mW. It emits light at a peak wavelength of 596 nm with a viewing angle of 23 degrees. The component provides an optical intensity of 12 cd and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Features a 5 mm oval package with a clear lens for standard through-hole PCB integration.
• Delivers amber emission at a 596 nm peak wavelength suitable for indicator applications.

Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Control interface lighting
• General-purpose signal indication

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm exact optical intensity and wavelength tolerances. Confirm availability as distribution channels may list varying stock levels or obsolescence statuses. Ensure the ordering code matches the required lens shape and beam angle specifications for the target design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5 mm oval form factor is required for panel mounting. Consider the 23-degree viewing angle for directional visibility needs. Verify that the 2.6 V forward voltage aligns with the circuit's drive capability and thermal management requirements for continuous operation.
