C503B-GCS-CB0C0782

Overview

The C503B-GCS-CB0C0782 is a single-color green LED from the Cree LED C503B series, designed for through-hole mounting in a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) package. It emits light at a dominant wavelength of 527 nm with a 30-degree viewing angle. The component operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 3.2 V, rated for a power dissipation of 120 mW. It features a tinted lens with a dome shape and clear transparency, measuring 5.8 mm in length, 5 mm in width, and 8.8 mm in height.

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 CB0C0782 against official Cree datasheets to confirm exact luminous intensity and binning, as variations exist within the GCS family. 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 30-degree viewing angle is required for green illumination applications. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 3.2 V forward voltage drop and 20 mA drive current. Verify that the operating environment does not exceed the specified thermal limits for the optical-grade epoxy construction.

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 characterized by its use of optical-grade epoxy for durability in outdoor environments. The C503B-GCS variant specifically denotes the green color with a 30-degree viewing angle configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other C503B-GCS models such as C503B-GCS-CZ0B0782 or C503B-GCS-CY0C0792 if different luminous intensities are acceptable. Verify mechanical compatibility with existing PCB footprints before substitution.
