C503B-GAN-CD0E0892

Overview

The C503B-GAN-CD0E0892 is a single-color green LED from the Cree LED C503B series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) round lens with a clear, colorless surface. The component emits light at a dominant wavelength of 535 nm and operates with a typical forward voltage of 4 V. It provides a luminous intensity range of 16,800 to 90,500 mcd and offers a narrow viewing angle of 15 degrees. Constructed with optical-grade epoxy, it ensures high reliability in outdoor environments.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes advanced optical-grade epoxy for superior resistance to high temperatures and moisture
• Provides extremely stable light output over long operational periods
• Delivers superior light output for excellent readability in direct sunlight

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CD0E0892 against the official C503B datasheet to confirm exact binning parameters. Check current lifecycle status as some variants in this family are marked obsolete. Ensure RoHS compliance documentation is available for regulatory requirements. Confirm lead times with authorized distributors due to potential supply constraints on legacy components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high visibility in bright ambient light is required due to its intense green emission. The 15-degree beam angle is suitable for applications needing focused directional lighting rather than wide-area illumination. Consider the 4 V forward voltage drop for appropriate driver circuit design. Verify mechanical fit within the 5 mm through-hole footprint constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree LED C503B series of 5 mm round LEDs, which includes blue and green variants. The series is engineered for demanding outdoor signage applications where durability and brightness are critical. It shares common mechanical dimensions with other C503B models but differs in optical characteristics based on the specific color and lens configuration selected.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other C503B-GAN variants with different suffixes if binning differences are acceptable. Cross-reference with C503B-GCS or GBS series if a wider viewing angle is permissible. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 5 mm T-1 3/4 package and through-hole compatibility.
