C503B-ACN-CYBZA252-030

Overview

The C503B-ACN-CYBZA252-030 is a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) through-hole amber LED from the Cree series. It features a clear, round lens with a 30-degree viewing angle and emits at a dominant wavelength of 591 nm. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 2.1 V and a maximum forward current of 50 mA. It delivers a luminous intensity of 8930 mcd at a test current of 20 mA, with a maximum power dissipation of 130 mW. The device 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 specifically engineered for demanding outdoor sign and signal applications.
• Ensures stable light output over the operational life of the LED through high-temperature and high-moisture resistance performance.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against official manufacturer documentation before procurement. Confirm that the suffix CYBZA252 corresponds to the specific luminous intensity and wavelength requirements for your design. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards if required by your project specifications. Check for any recent product change notices regarding packaging or material composition updates.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5 mm through-hole amber LED with a 30-degree beam angle is required. It is suitable for designs needing high visibility in outdoor conditions due to its UV-resistant encapsulation. Consider the 2.1 V forward voltage drop and 50 mA maximum current limits during circuit design. Verify availability as some variants may be marked as not recommended for new designs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cree C503B family of 5 mm round LEDs, which includes red and amber options. The ACN suffix indicates an amber color with a 30-degree viewing angle. These LEDs are part of a broader lineup designed for robust performance in harsh environments, offering various beam angles and intensities to suit different signage needs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package and electrical characteristics should be sourced from the official C503B datasheet. Verify compatibility of pinout, forward voltage, and luminous intensity before substitution. Generic replacements may lack the specified UV resistance and outdoor durability.
