C503B-GCS-CA0B0891

Overview

The C503B-GCS-CA0B0891 is a green single-color LED from the Cree C503B series, housed in a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) radial through-hole package. It features a clear lens with a 30-degree viewing angle and emits at a dominant wavelength of 527 nm. The component operates with a forward voltage of 4 V and a maximum forward current of 30 mA, dissipating up to 120 mW. It provides a luminous intensity of 32.9 cd and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Provides superior light output for excellent readability in sunlight
• Ensures extremely stable light output over long periods of time
• 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 CA0B0891 against official Cree documentation to confirm exact binning and lens specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard 5 mm PCB footprints. Confirm RoHS compliance status for the specific manufacturing batch prior to integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high visibility and environmental durability. The 30-degree viewing angle offers a wider beam than the 15-degree variants. Consider the 4 V forward voltage drop when designing drive circuits. The T-1 3/4 package ensures mechanical robustness for outdoor or industrial environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree C503B family of 5 mm round LEDs, designed for blue and green illumination. The GCS designation indicates a green color variant with a 30-degree viewing angle. These LEDs are engineered for demanding signal and sign applications where reliability and brightness are critical performance factors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include C503B-GCN-CY0C0791 and C503B-GAN-CB0C0891. Verify that alternative parts match the 30-degree viewing angle and 5 mm package dimensions. Cross-reference electrical parameters such as forward voltage and luminous intensity to ensure functional equivalence.
