C503B-ACN-CX0Z0341

Overview

The C503B-ACN-CX0Z0341 is a single-color amber LED from the Cree series, featuring a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole package with two pins. It emits light at a peak wavelength of 593 nm with a typical forward voltage of 2.6 V and a maximum power dissipation of 130 mW. The component offers a viewing angle of 30 degrees and an optical intensity of 12,000 mcd. It utilizes a colorless, transparent lens and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Emits distinct amber light at a 593 nm peak wavelength for high visibility applications.
• Features a standard 5 mm T-1 3/4 radial through-hole package for easy circuit integration.
• Provides high luminous intensity of 12,000 mcd within a narrow 30-degree viewing cone.
• Constructed with a clear, colorless lens to ensure optimal light transmission.

Applications

• General-purpose electronic status indicators
• Panel-mounted equipment signal lights
• Consumer appliance control interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm lens shape and binning requirements. Confirm current lifecycle status as some variants may be marked as not recommended for new designs. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for 5 mm radial components. Check RoHS compliance documentation for regulatory adherence in target markets.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a bright amber indicator is required for through-hole assembly. The 30-degree beam angle focuses light effectively for direct line-of-sight viewing. Consider the 2.6 V forward voltage drop for appropriate current-limiting resistor calculations. Verify that the 130 mW power rating suits the thermal environment of the application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B series of 5 mm single-color LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The series includes various colors and lens configurations, utilizing standard radial leads. It represents a legacy through-hole solution compared to modern surface-mount alternatives, suitable for robust mechanical mounting environments.
