C503C-ACS-CYCZA341

Overview

The C503C-ACS-CYCZA341 is a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) amber LED with a radial through-hole mounting configuration. It features an oval lens and emits light at a dominant wavelength of 591 nm. The component operates with a typical forward voltage of 2.1 V and a maximum forward current of 50 mA. It provides a typical luminous intensity of 7600 mcd with a viewing angle of 30 degrees. The device has a maximum power dissipation of 120 mW and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Features a 5 mm oval lens design for superior light output and readability
• Provides high-intensity amber emission suitable for indicator applications
• Supports standard through-hole mounting for easy integration

Applications

• General purpose electronic equipment indicators
• Control panel status signaling
• Instrumentation front panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code to confirm exact binning parameters, as Cree utilizes complex ordering codes that define intensity and color variations. Ensure the procurement documentation explicitly references the full part number to avoid receiving components with different optical characteristics or lens configurations. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm active status and availability constraints before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5 mm form factor with a 30-degree viewing angle is required for amber indication. The 2.1 V forward voltage drop necessitates appropriate current-limiting resistor calculations for the target supply voltage. Consider the 50 mA maximum rating when designing thermal management solutions, although the low power dissipation typically allows for direct PCB mounting without additional heatsinking in standard environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree C503C series of 5 mm round LEDs, which are designed for general indication purposes. The series offers various color options and intensity bins within the same physical package. The C503C designation specifically denotes the 5 mm T-1 3/4 radial leaded package style, distinguishing it from surface-mount or larger industrial LED packages within the broader Cree portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 5 mm amber LEDs with similar 2.1 V forward voltage and 30-degree viewing angles, such as generic equivalents from manufacturers like Kingbright or Everlight. Verify mechanical compatibility of the lead spacing and lens dimensions before substitution.
