C503B-WAN-CBADA231

Overview

The C503B-WAN-CBADA231 is a 5mm round LED from the Cree LED family, designed for high visibility in outdoor environments. It emits Cool White light with a typical color temperature of 9000K and a minimum of 4600K. The component provides a luminous intensity range of 14,400 to 32,900 mcd at a standard viewing angle of 15 degrees. Constructed with optical-grade epoxy, it ensures stable performance under high temperature and moisture conditions.

Feature Summary

• Advanced optical-grade epoxy encapsulation providing superior resistance to high temperatures and moisture for reliable operation in harsh lighting and illumination applications.
• Incorporates UV inhibitors within the encapsulation resin to minimize degradation effects from long-term direct sunlight exposure, ensuring stable light output over the device's lifespan.

Applications

• Torch
• Light Strip
• Channel Letter
• Retail Display Lighting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CBADA231 against official Cree documentation to confirm binning or packaging variations. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management designs due to the high luminous intensity. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high readability in direct sunlight is required. The 15-degree viewing angle concentrates light for long-distance visibility. Verify that the forward current ratings align with the target circuit design to maintain the specified luminous intensity without exceeding absolute maximum ratings.

Part Context
