Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CCADA342 against official Cree datasheets to confirm exact luminous intensity and binning requirements. Ensure compatibility with standard 5mm through-hole mounting processes and check RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-intensity amber indication is required for outdoor or high-visibility environments. The 15-degree viewing angle provides directional focus suitable for signaling. Consider the 3.2V forward voltage drop for circuit design and ensure adequate thermal management for continuous operation within specified power dissipation limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree 5mm Round LED family, which emphasizes durability and optical clarity. The series uses advanced epoxy materials to resist high temperatures and moisture, ensuring dependable performance in demanding lighting and illumination scenarios compared to standard general-purpose indicators.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Cree 5mm amber LEDs such as C503B-AAN-CZ0A0342 for different intensity levels. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility and electrical characteristics before substituting with generic 5mm T-1 3/4 packages.
