C503B-ACN-CYAZA252-030

Overview

The C503B-ACN-CYAZA252-030 is a 5mm round through-hole amber LED with a clear lens. It operates at a typical forward voltage of 2.1V and a test current of 20mA, emitting light at a dominant wavelength of 591nm. The component features a 30-degree viewing angle and delivers a luminous intensity ranging from 3000 to 8200 mcd. It has a maximum height of 10.10mm and is housed in a radial package.

Feature Summary

• Advanced optical-grade epoxy construction for superior high-temperature and moisture resistance
• Encapsulation resin contains UV inhibitors to minimize sunlight exposure effects
• Provides stable light output over the life of the LED

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official Cree documentation, as variations like CY0Z or CX0Y exist within the C503B family. Confirm RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 status during sourcing. Ensure the specific luminous intensity bin matches design requirements, as ranges vary by sub-model. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm lead-free specifications and packaging details.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high readability in outdoor environments due to its UV-resistant encapsulation. The 30-degree beam angle offers a balance between focus and spread suitable for signage. Consider the 2.1V forward voltage drop for circuit design and ensure adequate thermal management despite the low power dissipation rating.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree C503B series of 5mm round LEDs, designed for robust performance in demanding lighting conditions. The series includes red and amber variants with different viewing angles (15, 23, and 30 degrees). The ACN designation typically indicates the 30-degree viewing angle configuration within the amber color group.

Replacement Considerations

C503B-ACN-CY0Z0252-030 is listed as a parameter equivalent substitute.
