C503B-GCN-CA0B0891

Overview

The C503B-GCN-CA0B0891 is a single-color green light-emitting diode manufactured by Cree LED. It utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole package with a round, colorless lens. The component emits at a peak wavelength of 527 nm and operates with a forward voltage of 3.2 V at a forward current of 20 mA. It delivers a luminous intensity of 20,000 mcd with a viewing angle of 30 degrees. The device has a maximum power dissipation of 120 mW and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Features a standard T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole form factor for easy integration into existing circuit board layouts.
• Provides high-intensity green illumination with a narrow beam profile suitable for focused indicator applications.
• Constructed with a clear, colorless lens to ensure optimal light transmission and visual clarity.

Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Instrumentation displays
• Control interface lighting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CA0B0891 against official datasheets to confirm exact optical characteristics, as Cree LED part numbers are highly sensitive to suffix variations. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors, as this component may be subject to end-of-life notices or discontinuation. Ensure compliance with project-specific environmental regulations such as RoHS before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5 mm through-hole footprint is required for green signaling. Compare the 30-degree viewing angle and 20,000 mcd intensity against application visibility requirements. Consider the 3.2 V forward voltage drop for appropriate current-limiting resistor calculations in series circuits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree LED C503B series, which encompasses various single-color LEDs in the T-1 3/4 package. The series offers multiple color options including green, amber, and blue, differentiated primarily by semiconductor material and resulting emission wavelengths. This specific variant targets general-purpose green indication needs.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers for C503B-GCN-CA0B0891 were not found in the provided source data. Verify compatibility with generic 5 mm green LEDs only if electrical parameters match exactly.
