C503B-RAN-CZ0C0AA2

Overview

The C503B-RAN-CZ0C0AA2 is a red, through-hole LED from the Cree series. It features a 5mm round lens with a clear, colorless appearance and a 15-degree viewing angle. The component operates at a forward voltage of 2.1V and has a maximum power dissipation of 120mW. It emits light at a dominant wavelength of 624nm with a luminous intensity of 20550mcd. Designed for radial mounting, it complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Advanced optical-grade epoxy encapsulation provides superior high-temperature and high-moisture resistance suitable for outdoor environments.
• Encapsulation resin contains UV inhibitors to minimize degradation effects from long-term direct sunlight exposure.
• Ensures stable light output over the operational life of the LED in demanding signal applications.

Applications

• Electronic Signs & Signals (ESS)
• Motorway Signs
• Variable-Message Sign (VMS)

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Cree documentation to confirm exact electrical characteristics and binning. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts for radial through-hole mounting. Confirm that the 120mW power dissipation rating aligns with thermal management requirements in the target assembly design.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-intensity red indication with a narrow beam profile. The 15-degree viewing angle concentrates light effectively for visibility at distance. Consider the 2.1V forward voltage drop when designing drive circuits to ensure proper current limiting and power efficiency within the system architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B family of 5mm round LEDs designed for robust performance. The series utilizes advanced materials to withstand harsh environmental conditions. It serves as a standard indicator solution for industrial and automotive signaling where reliability and consistent optical output are critical specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Cree datasheets for cross-reference information regarding equivalent components within the same product line or alternative packages with matching electrical parameters.
