C503C-RCS-CYCZAAA1

Overview

The C503C-RCS-CYCZAAA1 is a red LED from Cree LED, featuring a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) package with a round domed lens. It operates at a typical forward voltage of 2.1V and a test current of 20 mA. The component delivers a luminous intensity of 7400 mcd to 8650 mcd, with a power rating of 130 mW. It supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Features a transparent, convex lens for directional light output
• Designed for through-hole mounting in standard 5 mm configurations
• Capable of operation across a wide industrial temperature range

Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Instrumentation status displays
• General-purpose electronic signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Cree documentation to confirm exact binning and optical characteristics. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid RoHS compliance records. Cross-reference the part number with manufacturer datasheets to confirm availability of the specific amber or red variant intended for the design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-intensity red indication is required in a standard 5 mm through-hole footprint. Consider the 2.1V forward voltage drop for circuit biasing. Verify that the 130 mW power dissipation limit aligns with the thermal management capabilities of the target application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree 5-mm Round LED series, which offers superior light output compared to standard indicators. The C503C-RCS-CYCZAAA1 specifically denotes a red LED variant within this family, distinguished by its specific lens style and electrical parameters defined in the product ordering code table.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 5 mm red LEDs with similar 2.1V forward voltage and comparable luminous intensity. Verify mechanical compatibility with the T-1 3/4 package dimensions and ensure the replacement meets the same -40°C to +100°C operating temperature requirements.
