C503B-RCS-CW0Z0AA2

Overview

The C503B-RCS-CW0Z0AA2 is a red light-emitting diode from the Cree LED C503B series. It features a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) round lens with a clear, colorless finish and a 15-degree viewing angle. The component operates at a typical forward voltage of 2.1 V with a maximum power dissipation of 120 mW. It emits light at a dominant wavelength of 624 nm and achieves a luminous intensity range of 20,550 to 23,500 mcd at a test current of 20 mA.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes advanced optical-grade epoxy encapsulation for superior high-temperature and moisture resistance in outdoor environments.
• Incorporates UV inhibitors within the resin to minimize degradation effects from direct sunlight exposure.
• Provides stable light output over the operational life of the device under harsh conditions.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact electrical parameters and binning. Confirm RoHS compliance status and packaging type directly with the supplier or authorized distributor before procurement. Ensure the component meets the required environmental standards for the intended application.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-brightness red indication with robust environmental durability. The 15-degree beam angle provides focused visibility suitable for signage. Verify that the 2.1 V forward voltage aligns with the circuit design constraints and thermal management requirements.

Part Context
