C503B-ACN-CY0Z0251

Overview

The C503B-ACN-CY0Z0251 is a single-color amber LED from the Cree LED series, designed for through-hole mounting in a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) package. It features a clear dome lens and emits light at a peak wavelength of 591 nm. The component operates with a forward voltage of 2.1 V at a test current of 20 mA, delivering an optical intensity of 8930 mcd. It has a maximum power rating of 130 mW and supports a wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to +100 °C.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-intensity amber illumination with a peak wavelength of 591 nm for distinct visual signaling.
• Features a clear dome-shaped lens that ensures a standard viewing angle for effective light distribution.
• Constructed with a robust T-1 3/4 radial leaded package suitable for reliable through-hole PCB integration.

Applications

• Panel indicator lights for electronic equipment status display
• Visual signaling in industrial control systems
• Instrumentation and measurement device interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm lens shape and binning requirements, as variations exist within the C503B family. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for Not Recommended for New Design (NRND) status prior to finalizing procurement plans to ensure long-term supply availability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5 mm amber LED with high luminous intensity is required for general indication purposes. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 2.1 V forward voltage drop and limits current to the specified 20 mA test value to maintain performance within the 130 mW power rating constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B series of single-color LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The series offers various color options and lens configurations in a standard 5 mm through-hole form factor, widely used in consumer electronics and industrial applications requiring reliable discrete lighting components.
