C503B-ACN-CW0X0342

Overview

The C503B-ACN-CW0X0342 is a single-color amber LED from the Cree series, housed in a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) radial package. It features a clear colorless lens and operates with a forward voltage of 2.1 V at a maximum forward current of 20 mA. The device emits light at a peak wavelength of 591 nm with a luminous intensity of 6000 mcd. It has a viewing angle of 30 degrees and a maximum power dissipation of 130 mW. The component supports through-hole installation and functions within a temperature range of -40 °C to +100 °C.

Feature Summary

• Provides superior light output for excellent visibility in indication applications
• Features a round dome lens design for consistent illumination
• Supports standard through-hole mounting for easy integration

Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Status indication on electronic equipment
• Control panel signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against official datasheets to ensure correct wavelength and intensity specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for recommended new design (NRND) status prior to procurement. Ensure thermal management aligns with the 130 mW power dissipation limit during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5 mm amber LED with a 30-degree viewing angle is required. It is suitable for general indication tasks where moderate brightness is sufficient. Consider the 2.1 V forward voltage drop for circuit design. Verify availability as some variants may carry end-of-life notices.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B family of 5-mm round red and amber LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. These components are designed for discrete indication purposes. The ACN suffix typically denotes specific optical characteristics within the amber category. The T-1 3/4 package provides a standardized footprint for legacy and modern PCB layouts.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other C503B-ACN variants such as C503B-ACN-CX0Y0342 for similar electrical parameters. Verify mechanical dimensions and pin spacing compatibility before substitution. Check manufacturer documentation for any updated lifecycle status or alternative recommendations.
