C503B-BCN-CV0Z0462

Overview

The C503B-BCN-CV0Z0462 is a blue single-color LED from the Cree series, housed in a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) through-hole package. It features a round, colorless lens with a transparent surface and emits light at a typical wavelength of 470 nm. The component operates with a forward voltage of 3.2 V to 4 V and a maximum forward current of 30 mA. Key electrical parameters include a luminous intensity of 4.1 cd to 12 cd, a viewing angle of 30 degrees, and a maximum power dissipation of 120 mW.

Feature Summary

• Emits blue light at a 470 nm wavelength
• Utilizes a 5 mm T-1 3/4 through-hole package
• Features a round, colorless transparent lens

Applications

• Indicator lamps
• Panel status displays
• General illumination

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the C503B-BCN-CV0Z0462 to confirm exact forward voltage and luminous intensity tolerances, as values may vary between 3.2 V and 4 V depending on the manufacturing batch. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards and check for automotive qualification requirements if applicable to the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a standard 5 mm through-hole blue LED with moderate brightness. Consider the 30-degree viewing angle and 120 mW power dissipation limit when designing the thermal and optical layout. Verify that the 30 mA maximum forward current aligns with the circuit's drive capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B series of single-color LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The series offers various color options and intensities within the 5 mm T-1 3/4 form factor. The C503B-BCN-CV0Z0462 specifically denotes the blue variant with defined electrical characteristics suitable for general-purpose electronic indicators.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly confirmed in public documentation. Similar 5 mm blue LEDs from other manufacturers may require verification of forward voltage, current ratings, and mechanical dimensions to ensure compatibility.
