Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CCADA152 against official Cree datasheets to confirm exact binning parameters, as standard C503B-WAN specifications may vary. Ensure compliance with RoHS and lead-free requirements during sourcing. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers directly to avoid substitution errors due to minor suffix differences affecting optical characteristics or packaging.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high visibility in bright ambient conditions due to its narrow 15-degree beam angle. The cool white spectrum (up to 9000K) suits tasks needing high contrast. Consider the 5mm T-1 3/4 package size for compatibility with existing through-hole layouts. Evaluate thermal management needs given the high luminous intensity output.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B series of round LEDs from Cree LED, known for reliability in industrial and consumer lighting. The C503B family typically includes various colors and intensities, with the WAN variant specifically targeting high-brightness white light applications. It represents a legacy through-hole solution compared to modern surface-mount alternatives.

Replacement Considerations
