C503C-RCN-CYAZAAA1

Overview

The C503C-RCN-CYAZAAA1 is a single-color red LED from the Cree LED C503C family, designed for through-hole mounting in a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) package. It features a round lens with a dome shape and a viewing angle of 30 degrees. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +95°C and is RoHS compliant.

Feature Summary

• Advanced optical-grade epoxy encapsulation provides superior high-temperature and high-moisture resistance for outdoor durability.
• Encapsulation resin contains UV inhibitors to minimize degradation from long-term direct sunlight exposure.
• Ensures stable light output over the operational life of the LED in demanding environments.

Applications

• Electronic Signs & Signals (ESS)
• Motorway Signs
• Variable-Message Sign (VMS)
• Advertising Signs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CYAZAAA1 against official Cree documentation to confirm exact binning parameters such as luminous intensity and dominant wavelength. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management requirements for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high visibility and environmental stability are required for outdoor signage. The 30-degree viewing angle offers a balance between intensity and spread. Confirm that the forward current and voltage ratings align with the driver circuit design to ensure reliable operation.

Part Context
