C503B-BCN-CV0W0452

Overview

The C503B-BCN-CV0W0452 is a blue through-hole LED from the Cree series, utilizing a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) package with two pins. It emits light at a dominant wavelength of 480 nm with a forward voltage of 4 V and maximum power dissipation of 120 mW. The component features a 30-degree viewing angle, a clear round lens, and RoHS compliance.

Feature Summary

• 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 CV0W0452 against official Cree documentation to confirm exact binning and optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts for the 5 mm T-1 3/4 package. Confirm RoHS status and lead-free requirements align with project standards before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-intensity blue illumination with a wide 30-degree viewing angle. The robust epoxy construction makes it suitable for outdoor environments where moisture and temperature resistance are critical. Consider the 4 V forward voltage when designing current-limiting circuits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B family of 5-mm Blue and Green Round LEDs. It shares the standard 5 mm T-1 3/4 form factor with other variants in the series, differing primarily in color, wavelength, and intensity bins defined by the suffix codes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include C503B-BCS or C503B-GCN for different viewing angles or colors. Verify mechanical fit and electrical parameters before swapping.
