C503C-ACS-CYAZA252

Overview

The C503C-ACS-CYAZA252 is a through-hole LED from the Cree LED C503C series, featuring a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) round lens with a clear dome shape. It emits amber light at a dominant wavelength of 591 nm. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 2.1 V and a test current of 20 mA, delivering an optical intensity of 8650 mcd. It has a viewing angle of 30 degrees and a maximum power dissipation of 130 mW.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-intensity amber illumination suitable for visual indicators
• Features a standard radial leaded package for easy insertion mounting
• Offers consistent color performance with a narrow spectral width

Applications

• General purpose status indication on electronic panels
• Instrumentation and control panel signaling
• Consumer appliance indicator lights

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CYAZA252 against official Cree datasheets to confirm exact binning and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for T-1 3/4 components. Check RoHS compliance status in the latest manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-brightness amber indicator is required in a standard 5 mm through-hole form factor. Consider the 30-degree viewing angle for direct line-of-sight applications. Evaluate the 2.1 V forward voltage drop against available drive circuitry to ensure proper current limiting resistor selection.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503C series, which focuses on high-brightness single-color LEDs. The series utilizes advanced semiconductor materials to achieve superior luminous intensity compared to standard indicators. The C503C designation typically denotes specific chromaticity coordinates and brightness bins within the Cree portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other C503C series variants such as C503C-ACN-CYCZA342 for similar electrical characteristics. Verify mechanical dimensions and lead spacing to ensure physical compatibility during substitution.
