C503C-WAS-CBBDA231

Overview

The C503C-WAS-CBBDA231 is a white through-hole LED from Cree LED, housed in a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) package. It features two pins and emits white light with a color temperature of 9000K. The component has a forward voltage of 4V and a maximum forward current of 30mA. It offers a viewing angle of 15 degrees and an elliptical lens shape. The LED brightness is rated at 46100 mcd, with a maximum power dissipation of 120mW. It complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• High-intensity white light emission suitable for high-visibility applications
• Compact 5 mm T-1 3/4 through-hole form factor for standard mounting
• Narrow 15-degree beam angle for directional lighting control

Applications

• Signage illumination
• Indicator lights
• Instrument panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DA231 against official Cree LED documentation to confirm exact binning and optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing circuit designs regarding forward voltage and current limits. Confirm RoHS compliance status for your region. Check for any end-of-life notices or recommended replacement parts before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a bright, narrow-beam white indicator is required in a standard 5mm through-hole footprint. The 9000K color temperature provides a cool white appearance. Ensure the driving circuit can handle the 4V forward voltage drop and 30mA current limit. Consider the 15-degree viewing angle for precise light directionality needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree LED high-brightness through-hole portfolio, optimized for signage and general indication. The C503 series utilizes advanced phosphor technology to achieve high luminous intensity in a compact package. These LEDs are designed for reliability in various commercial and industrial lighting environments.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Cree LED substitution guides for direct replacements. Verify pinout and electrical parameters match exactly. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 5mm white LEDs only if mechanical and electrical specifications align perfectly.
