C503C-ACN-CYAZA252

Overview

The C503C-ACN-CYAZA252 is a single-color amber LED from Cree LED, designed for through-hole mounting. It features a 5 mm round lens with a dome shape and emits light at a wavelength of 591 nm. The component operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.1 V. It has a maximum power dissipation of 120 mW and provides an illumination color suitable for indication applications.

Feature Summary

• Emits amber light at 591 nm wavelength
• Features a 5 mm round dome lens design
• Supports through-hole radial mounting

Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Status indication in electronic devices
• General purpose visual signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'a252' to ensure correct binning and optical characteristics. Confirm that the 5 mm radial package matches the PCB footprint requirements. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Ensure the 2.1 V forward voltage aligns with the driving circuit design.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a distinct amber indication is required for 5 mm through-hole applications. Consider the 20 mA forward current rating for driver compatibility. Evaluate the 15-degree viewing angle if directional visibility is critical. Compare against other colors in the C503C series for consistent panel aesthetics.

Part Context

This component belongs to the C503C series of 5-mm round LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The series includes various colors such as red and amber, offering superior light output for general indication purposes. These LEDs are commonly used in industrial and consumer electronics for visual status feedback.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include C503C-ACN-CYCZa252. Verify pinout and electrical parameters before substitution. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 5 mm amber LEDs if supply constraints exist.
