• Provides superior light output for excellent readability in sunlight
• Ensures dependable performance with extremely stable light output over long periods
• Constructed with advanced optical-grade epoxy for high temperature and moisture resistance

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CY0C0462 against official Cree documentation to confirm exact luminous intensity binning and color coordinates. Ensure the selected variant matches the required 15-degree viewing angle and 5 mm T-1 3/4 package dimensions for your circuit design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-intensity blue illumination is required for outdoor visibility. The 15-degree beam angle concentrates light for long-distance signaling. Verify that the 4 V forward voltage aligns with your driver circuit capabilities and that the 30 mA maximum rating fits your thermal management strategy.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B family of 5 mm round LEDs designed for harsh environments. The series utilizes robust epoxy materials to withstand outdoor conditions. The BAN designation typically indicates the blue color variant within the standard 15-degree viewing angle configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other C503B-BAN variants or equivalent 5 mm through-hole blue LEDs from other manufacturers if supply is constrained. Ensure replacement parts match the 15-degree viewing angle and 4 V forward voltage specifications.
