C503B-RAN-CA0B0AA1

Overview

The C503B-RAN-CA0B0AA1 is a single-color red LED from the Cree LED series, designed for through-hole mounting. It utilizes a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) radial package with a clear lens. The component operates at a forward voltage of 2.1 V and emits light at a peak wavelength of 624 nm. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward current of 20 mA and a power dissipation rating of 120 mW. The device provides an optical intensity of 22,450 mcd with a viewing angle of 15 degrees.

Feature Summary

• High-intensity red emission suitable for indicator applications
• Standard 5 mm T-1 3/4 radial leaded package for easy integration
• Clear dome lens design for focused light output

Applications

• Panel indicators
• Status signaling
• Control equipment displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CA0B0AA1 against official Cree documentation to confirm exact binning and packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with standard through-hole assembly processes. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the latest datasheet before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high visibility in the red spectrum is required within a standard 5 mm form factor. Consider the 15-degree beam angle for directional lighting needs. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the 120 mW power dissipation limit during continuous operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B family of 5 mm single-color LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The series offers various color options and intensities optimized for general indication purposes. The C503B designation indicates the specific 5 mm T-1 3/4 package style common in legacy and modern electronic designs.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 5 mm red LEDs featuring similar 624 nm wavelength and 2.1 V forward voltage. Verify mechanical pin spacing and lens dimensions match existing PCB footprints before substitution.
