C503B-RBN-CW0Z0AA1

Overview

The C503B-RBN-CW0Z0AA1 is a red through-hole LED from the Cree C503B series, housed in a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) package with two pins. It features a 23-degree viewing angle and an oval lens shape. The component operates at a forward voltage of 2.6 V with a maximum power dissipation of 130 mW. It emits light at a dominant wavelength of 624 nm, providing a luminous intensity range of 3000 to 12000 mcd.

Feature Summary

• Constructed with advanced optical-grade epoxy for superior high-temperature and moisture resistance.
• Encapsulation resin includes UV inhibitors to minimize sunlight exposure effects.
• Provides stable light output over the operational life of the LED.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CW0Z0AA1 against official Cree documentation to confirm exact binning parameters. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor. Ensure the ordering information matches the required luminous intensity and wavelength specifications for the target application.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust outdoor performance due to its UV-resistant encapsulation. The 23-degree beam angle offers a balance between visibility and coverage. Verify that the 5 mm T-1 3/4 form factor fits the mechanical constraints of the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B family of 5-mm round LEDs designed for high-readability outdoor environments. The series utilizes specialized epoxy materials to ensure durability against environmental stressors such as heat and humidity, making it suitable for demanding signage applications.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include C503B-RBS and C503B-RCS variants, which share the 5 mm package but differ in viewing angles. Cross-reference datasheets to ensure electrical and optical parameters align with system requirements.
