C503C-WAN-CBBDB151

Overview

The C503C-WAN-CBBDB151 is a single-color white LED from the Cree LED C503C family, designed for through-hole mounting. It features a 5 mm round lens with an elliptical shape and a narrow 15-degree viewing angle. The component operates with a forward voltage of 4 V and a maximum forward current of 30 mA, dissipating up to 120 mW. It delivers a luminous intensity of 46,100 mcd at a color temperature of 9000 K. The device is RoHS compliant and functions within a temperature range of -40 °C to 95 °C.

Feature Summary

• Superior light output optimized for excellent readability in direct sunlight
• Advanced optical grade epoxy encapsulation providing high resistance to heat and moisture
• Stable light output maintained over long operational periods

Applications

• Outdoor electronic signs and signals
• Variable-message signs (VMS)
• Motorway signage
• Advertising displays
• Petrol station signage

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official datasheets to confirm exact binning and optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts for through-hole radial mounting. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by local regulations. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-intensity visibility is critical in outdoor environments. The narrow 15-degree beam angle suits applications requiring focused illumination rather than wide-area lighting. Consider the 9000 K color temperature for cool white appearance requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 95 °C maximum operating temperature limit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree LED C503C series of 5 mm round LEDs. The series is engineered for demanding outdoor applications where durability and brightness are paramount. The C503C line utilizes advanced epoxy materials to withstand harsh environmental conditions while maintaining consistent photometric performance over time.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 5 mm through-hole white LEDs with similar 15-degree viewing angles and high luminous intensity ratings. Verify that alternative parts match the 4 V forward voltage and 30 mA current limits. Ensure physical dimensions align with existing mounting holes.
