C503B-GCS-CB0C0892

Overview

The C503B-GCS-CB0C0892 is a single-color green LED from the Cree LED C503B series. It utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole radial package with a dome lens shape and tinted lens color. The component emits light at a dominant wavelength of 527 nm. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 20 mA, a forward voltage of 3.2 V, and a power rating of 120 mW. The device features a luminous intensity of 20000 mcd and a viewing angle of 30 degrees. Physical dimensions are 5.8 mm in length 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
• 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 CB0C0892 against official Cree datasheets to confirm exact binning and optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for T-1 3/4 packages. Check for end-of-life notifications or product change notices that may affect long-term availability. Confirm RoHS compliance status for your target market regulations before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-intensity green indication is required for outdoor visibility. The 30-degree viewing angle offers a balance between beam focus and spread suitable for signage. The robust epoxy construction makes it appropriate for harsh environmental conditions where standard LEDs might fail due to moisture or heat exposure.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B family of 5-mm round LEDs designed for demanding signal applications. The 'GCS' designation typically indicates Green emission with a 30-degree viewing angle. These components are engineered to replace older incandescent lamps in signaling systems, offering higher efficiency and longer operational lifespans while maintaining mechanical interchangeability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include C503B-GCN variants for similar performance profiles. Verify pin compatibility and thermal management requirements when cross-referencing with other manufacturers' 5mm through-hole green LEDs.
