C503B-GAN-CD0E0781

Overview

The C503B-GAN-CD0E0781 is a single-color green LED from the Cree LED C503B series, housed in a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) radial through-hole package. It features a round, clear lens with a 15-degree viewing angle and emits light at a dominant wavelength of 535 nm. The component operates with a forward voltage of 4 V and a maximum forward current of 30 mA, delivering a luminous intensity of up to 90.5 cd. Designed for high brightness and sunlight readability, it dissipates a maximum power of 120 mW and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Provides superior light output for excellent readability in direct sunlight
• Ensures dependable performance with extremely stable light output over long operational periods
• Features a compact 5 mm round form factor suitable for standard through-hole mounting

Applications

• High-brightness visual indicators requiring high visibility
• Industrial control panel status signaling
• Outdoor equipment status displays
• Medical device front-panel indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CD0E0781 against the official Cree LED datasheet to confirm the exact luminous intensity bin and wavelength tolerance. Confirm that the 15-degree viewing angle matches the design requirement, as other variants in this series offer different beam widths. Check for end-of-life notifications or product change notices prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-intensity green indication is required in bright ambient environments. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 4 V forward voltage drop and limits current to 30 mA maximum. Verify that the 5 mm radial lead spacing fits the PCB footprint constraints and that the 15-degree beam width aligns with the optical requirements of the application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B family of 5 mm round LEDs, which are engineered for high-performance illumination applications. The series includes various colors and beam angles, with the GAN variant specifically optimized for green emission. These components are widely used in industries demanding reliable visual signaling under challenging lighting conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Cree LED datasheet for cross-reference information regarding alternative part numbers within the C503B series that may offer similar electrical characteristics or different beam angles if the 15-degree specification is not strictly required.
