C503B-WAN-CCADB151

Overview

The C503B-WAN-CCADB151 is a single-color cool white LED from the Cree LED C503B series. It utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole package with a round domed lens. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 20 mA, a typical forward voltage of 3.2 V, and a power rating of 100 mW. The component emits light at a color temperature range of 4600 K to 9000 K, with a luminous intensity between 14,400 and 32,900 mcd. It features a narrow viewing angle of 15 degrees and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides superior light output for excellent readability in sunlight
• Ensures extremely stable light output over long periods
• Constructed with advanced optical grade epoxy for high temperature and moisture resistance

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CCADB151 against official Cree LED documentation to confirm exact binning and color temperature tolerances. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts for T-1 3/4 packages. Check for end-of-life status or recommended replacement parts if the component is not intended for new designs. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements for the target market.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high directional intensity and sunlight readability are required. The 15-degree viewing angle suits applications needing focused beam control. Consider the 3.2 V forward voltage drop for driver circuit design. The robust epoxy construction makes it suitable for harsh environments requiring moisture and heat resistance compared to standard LEDs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503B series of 5mm round LEDs designed by Cree LED. The series emphasizes durability and performance in demanding lighting conditions. The specific model variant defines the cool white color output and intensity binning. It represents a traditional through-hole solution for general and specialty lighting needs.

Replacement Considerations

Check Cree LED datasheets for updated part numbers within the C503B family that may offer improved availability or updated specifications. Verify pinout and mechanical dimensions match before substituting.
