C503B-RCS-CX0Y0AA2

Overview

The C503B-RCS-CX0Y0AA2 is a single-color red LED from the Cree LED C503B family, designed for through-hole mounting. It features a 5mm round lens with a clear dome style and colorless transparency. The component emits light at a dominant wavelength of 624nm with a typical forward voltage of 2.1V at a test current of 20mA. It provides a luminous intensity range of 3000 to 12000 mcd and offers a viewing angle of 30 degrees. The maximum height is 10.30mm.

Feature Summary

• Constructed with advanced optical-grade epoxy resin containing UV inhibitors to ensure stable light output over the device's life.
• Provides superior high-temperature and high-moisture resistance performance suitable for demanding outdoor environments.
• Features a 30-degree viewing angle optimized for excellent readability in signal applications.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official datasheet to confirm exact binning parameters such as intensity and wavelength. Ensure that the ordering information matches the required package type and lead-free compliance status. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30-degree viewing angle is required for general signaling or display purposes. The red emission at 624nm is suitable for standard indicator applications. Consider the 5mm radial package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify thermal management requirements against the specified power rating for continuous operation conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B series of round LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The series includes variants with different colors, intensities, and viewing angles, such as the ACS/ACN amber versions. These components are engineered for durability in harsh environments, utilizing specialized encapsulation materials to withstand environmental stressors common in outdoor signage infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include C503B-RCS-CY0Z0AA2 and C503B-RCS-CX0Z0AA2. These alternatives share identical physical dimensions and electrical characteristics but may differ in specific intensity bins or packaging configurations. Verify compatibility with existing assembly processes before substitution.
