C503B-RAS-CA0C0AA2

Overview

The C503B-RAS-CA0C0AA2 is a red round LED from the Cree LED series, housed in a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) package with two pins. It features a clear lens and emits at a dominant wavelength of 624 nm. The component has a typical forward voltage of 2.1 V and a maximum power dissipation of 130 mW. It offers a luminous intensity range of 5860 to 23500 mcd with a narrow viewing angle of 15 degrees. Designed for through-hole mounting, it utilizes advanced optical-grade epoxy for high reliability.

Feature Summary

• Constructed with advanced optical-grade epoxy resin containing UV inhibitors to minimize degradation from long-term direct sunlight exposure.
• Provides superior light output and excellent readability specifically engineered for demanding outdoor sign and signal applications.
• Ensures stable light output over the operational life of the LED through high-temperature and high-moisture resistance performance.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CA0C0AA2 against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact binning and packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with standard through-hole assembly processes. Confirm RoHS compliance status for regulatory adherence. Check lead times as production cycles may vary based on current manufacturing schedules and order volume requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow 15-degree beam angle is required for focused visibility in outdoor environments. The 5 mm round form factor suits traditional indicator housings. Consider the 624 nm red wavelength for standard signaling needs. Evaluate the 5860–23500 mcd intensity range against ambient lighting conditions to ensure adequate visibility without excessive power consumption.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree 5-mm Red and Amber Round LEDs family, which includes variants with 15, 23, and 30-degree viewing angles. The C503B-RAS designation specifically indicates the 15-degree variant within the broader C503B product line designed for robust outdoor performance.
