C503B-WAN-CBADA152

Overview

The C503B-WAN-CBADA152 is a 5mm round through-hole LED from Cree LED, designed for high-intensity white light applications. It features a cool white color temperature with a typical value of 9000K and a minimum of 4600K. The component delivers a luminous intensity range of 14,400 to 32,900 mcd at a forward current of 20 mA. It has a narrow viewing angle of 15 degrees and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +95°C. The device is lead-free and RoHS compliant.

Feature Summary

• Advanced optical grade epoxy encapsulation provides superior resistance to high temperatures and moisture.
• UV inhibitors in the resin minimize degradation effects from long-term direct sunlight exposure.
• Stable light output performance maintained over extended operational periods.

Applications

• Torch lighting
• Light strip illumination
• Channel letter signage
• Retail display lighting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CBADA152 against official Cree datasheets to confirm binning and optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management designs given the 95°C maximum operating temperature. Confirm RoHS compliance status for target markets. Check for end-of-life notices or recommended new design alternatives if availability is constrained.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high readability in sunlight is required due to its superior light output. The 15-degree viewing angle suits applications needing focused illumination rather than wide dispersion. Consider the 5mm T-1 3/4 package size for standard PCB mounting constraints. Evaluate the cool white color temperature suitability for the intended visual environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree 5mm Round LED family, which includes various colors and intensities. The C503B series specifically targets outdoor and high-visibility applications requiring durability. It shares common mechanical dimensions with other 5mm LEDs but offers distinct optical performance characteristics optimized for harsh environments.
