C503B-ACS-CX0Z0341

Overview

The C503B-ACS-CX0Z0341 is a single-color amber LED from the Cree LED C503B series. It features a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) round lens with a clear, colorless epoxy cover. The component emits light at a dominant wavelength of 591 nm. Typical forward voltage is 2.1 V at a test current of 20 mA. Luminous intensity ranges from 3000 to 8200 mcd. The viewing angle is 30 degrees. Maximum power dissipation is 130 mW. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +100°C. It utilizes through-hole radial mounting.

Feature Summary

• Advanced optical-grade epoxy encapsulation provides superior resistance to high temperatures and moisture for outdoor durability.
• Encapsulation resin contains UV inhibitors to minimize degradation effects from long-term direct sunlight exposure.
• Ensures stable light output over the operational life of the LED in demanding environmental conditions.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against official datasheets to confirm luminous intensity binning and wavelength tolerance. Confirm RoHS compliance status and packaging type availability directly with authorized distributors. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding material or process updates before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high visibility in bright ambient light conditions due to its optimized amber emission. Ensure circuit design accommodates the specified forward voltage and maximum power dissipation limits. Verify mechanical fit within the 5 mm T-1 3/4 housing constraints for the target enclosure design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B family of 5 mm round LEDs designed for high-readability signage. The series offers various wavelengths and intensities. This specific model targets outdoor electronic displays where color stability and environmental resilience are critical performance factors.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Cree LED documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Do not assume cross-compatibility with other manufacturers' 5 mm LEDs without verifying electrical and mechanical parameters.
