Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Cree datasheet to confirm exact binning and optical characteristics. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability documentation. Cross-reference the part number with the latest product change notifications to account for any manufacturing updates or material substitutions that may affect compliance or performance specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component for outdoor signage requiring high visibility and durability. The 5 mm round form factor offers superior light output compared to standard indicators. Consider the thermal management requirements given the 95 °C maximum operating temperature. Verify compatibility with existing PCB layouts due to the radial mount configuration and specific dimensional constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree XLamp C503C family of 5 mm round LEDs. These components are engineered for robust performance in harsh environments. The series combines advanced encapsulation technology with high-intensity light sources to deliver consistent brightness over the product's lifespan, making it suitable for critical signaling applications.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Cree replacement guide for direct equivalents. Verify pinout compatibility and luminous intensity ranges before substitution. Generic replacements may not match the UV resistance or color stability specifications required for outdoor sign applications.
