C503B-BAN-CY0Z0451

Overview

The C503B-BAN-CY0Z0451 is a blue light-emitting diode from the Cree LED C503B series. It features a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) through-hole package with a clear, colorless lens. The device emits at a dominant wavelength of 470 nm and provides a luminous intensity of 23500 mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 4 V and a maximum power dissipation of 120 mW. It has a narrow viewing angle of 15 degrees and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +95°C.

Feature Summary

• High-intensity blue emission optimized for excellent readability in direct sunlight
• Advanced optical-grade epoxy construction ensures superior resistance to high temperatures and moisture
• Provides extremely stable light output over long operational periods

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CY0Z0451 against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact binning and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with existing circuit designs regarding the 4 V forward voltage and 120 mW power rating. Confirm RoHS compliance status for the specific manufacturing batch prior to integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high visibility in bright ambient conditions is required due to its 23500 mcd intensity. The 15-degree viewing angle makes it suitable for applications requiring focused light projection rather than wide dispersion. Verify that the 5 mm through-hole form factor fits the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree LED C503B family of 5-mm round LEDs. The series includes variants in blue and green colors with different viewing angles (15 or 30 degrees). These components are engineered for outdoor signal and sign applications where durability and consistent performance under harsh environmental conditions are critical requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official C503B datasheet for cross-referencing other suffixes within the same family. No public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model.
