Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against official manufacturer documentation, as suffix variations define specific electrical and optical characteristics. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free requirements prior to procurement. Ensure the ordering details match the required color temperature and luminous intensity specifications for the intended application.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-intensity white light with a narrow beam profile. The 5 mm through-hole package suits designs prioritizing robustness and ease of assembly. Consider the 15-degree viewing angle for focused illumination needs rather than wide-area lighting. Verify thermal management capabilities given the 120 mW power dissipation rating.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cree 5mm Round LED product family, specifically the C503C series. These LEDs are engineered for demanding environments where durability and consistent brightness are critical. The series utilizes advanced epoxy materials to withstand harsh conditions while maintaining optical performance over extended operational lifespans.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the C503C-WAS-CBBDB152 and C503B-WAN variants within the same Cree LED family. Cross-referencing datasheets is essential to confirm matching forward voltage, current ratings, and physical dimensions before substitution.
