C503B-BAN-CZ0A0451

Overview

The C503B-BAN-CZ0A0451 is a blue light-emitting diode from the Cree LED series, housed in a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) through-hole package. It features a clear, colorless lens with a circular shape and an 8.8 x 5 mm dimension. The component operates at a forward voltage of 4 V with a maximum forward current of 30 mA and a power dissipation rating of 120 mW. It emits light at a dominant wavelength of 470 nm with a luminous intensity of 23500 mcd and a viewing angle of 15 degrees.

Feature Summary

• Provides superior light output for excellent readability in sunlight
• Ensures extremely stable light output over long periods of time
• 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 CZ0A0451 against official datasheets to confirm exact binning parameters such as luminous intensity and wavelength. Ensure compatibility with standard 5 mm through-hole mounting requirements and check RoHS compliance status prior to integration into final designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high visibility in direct sunlight is required due to its superior light output characteristics. The 15-degree viewing angle makes it suitable for applications demanding focused illumination. Consider the 4 V forward voltage drop for circuit design and ensure adequate thermal management within the 120 mW dissipation limit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B family of 5-mm round LEDs designed for outdoor signal and sign applications. The series utilizes advanced optical-grade epoxy to deliver dependable performance under harsh environmental conditions. It serves as a robust indicator solution where long-term stability and high brightness are critical operational requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official C503B datasheet for alternative part numbers within the same series that may offer different viewing angles or intensity bins. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility before substituting with other 5 mm T-1 3/4 components.
