C503B-GCS-CA0B0892

Overview

The C503B-GCS-CA0B0892 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, tinted lens and a dome shape. The component emits at a peak wavelength of 527 nm with a typical luminous intensity of 20,000 mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 3.2 V at a forward current of 20 mA, resulting in a power rating of 120 mW. Physical dimensions are 5.8 mm in length and 8.8 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-intensity green illumination suitable for daylight readability
• Features a stable light output over extended operational periods
• Utilizes a standard 5 mm through-hole radial lead configuration

Applications

• Panel indicators requiring high visibility
• Status indication in electronic equipment
• General-purpose signaling devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CA0B0892 against official Cree documentation to confirm lens tint and binning, as variations exist within the C503B series. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for product change notifications or end-of-life notices prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 527 nm green emission with high brightness is required in a standard 5 mm through-hole form factor. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 3.2 V forward voltage drop and limits current to 20 mA to maintain the 120 mW power rating. Verify mechanical fitment for the 8.8 mm height constraint.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree C503B family of 5-mm round LEDs, which includes blue, green, and amber variants. The series is characterized by superior light output and long-term stability. The GCS designation typically indicates a green emitting device within this standardized through-hole lineup.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other C503B-GCS variants from Cree LED for identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Verify that any substitute maintains the 527 nm wavelength and 20,000 mcd intensity requirements.
