C503B-ACN-CX0Y0341

Overview

The C503B-ACN-CX0Y0341 is a single-color amber LED from the Cree C503B series, housed in a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) through-hole package. It features an oval lens with a 30-degree viewing angle and emits at a dominant wavelength of 593 nm. The component operates with a forward voltage of 2.6 V and a maximum power dissipation of 130 mW. It is RoHS compliant and designed for high reliability in outdoor environments.

Feature Summary

• Constructed with advanced optical-grade epoxy resin containing UV inhibitors to minimize degradation from long-term direct sunlight exposure.
• Provides superior light output and excellent readability suitable for demanding outdoor sign and signal applications.
• Ensures stable light output over the life of the LED through high-temperature and high-moisture resistance performance.

Applications

• Electronic Signs & Signals (ESS)
• Motorway Signs
• Variable-Message Sign (VMS)

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Cree documentation to confirm exact luminous intensity and wavelength binning. Confirm current lifecycle status as some variants in this family may be marked as Not Recommended for New Designs. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 5 mm T-1 3/4 package before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30-degree viewing angle and amber color are required for outdoor visibility. The 5 mm through-hole form factor supports standard manual or wave soldering processes. Consider the 130 mW power rating for thermal management in dense arrays. Verify that the 2.6 V forward voltage aligns with the driving circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree C503B round LED family, which includes red and amber options with varying beam angles. The ACN designation typically indicates the 30-degree oval lens variant within the 5 mm T-1 3/4 housing. This series is engineered specifically for high-brightness outdoor signage where durability and consistent color performance are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Check for C503B-ACS-CX0Y0341 if a different lens shape is acceptable. Verify availability of C503B-ACN-CY0Z0342 as a potential alternative within the same series. Always cross-reference datasheets for pinout and mechanical dimensions before substitution.
