C503C-WAS-CBBDB232

Overview

The C503C-WAS-CBBDB232 is a white light-emitting diode manufactured by Cree LED. It features a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) lens with an elliptical shape and a 15-degree viewing angle. The component operates at a forward voltage of 4 V and has a maximum power dissipation of 120 mW. It provides a luminous intensity of 46,100 mcd with a color temperature of 9000 K. Designed for through-hole mounting, it includes two pins and supports a maximum forward current of 30 mA.

Feature Summary

• Features an advanced optical-grade epoxy lens providing superior resistance to high temperatures and moisture.
• Delivers high luminous intensity within a narrow 15-degree viewing angle for focused illumination.
• Constructed with a 5 mm elliptical lens design suitable for standard radial mounting applications.

Applications

• Commercial downlighting fixtures
• GU10 lamp replacements
• General indication lighting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Cree documentation to confirm exact binning and optical characteristics. Ensure that procurement channels provide valid RoHS compliance certificates. Confirm that the supplier source matches the manufacturer's authorized distribution network to guarantee component authenticity and traceability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow beam angle and high brightness are required for white light applications. The 5 mm form factor allows for easy integration into existing through-hole PCB layouts or mechanical housings designed for T-1 3/4 packages. Consider the 4 V forward voltage drop when designing series resistor networks.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree C503C series of standard LEDs. The series utilizes advanced packaging technologies to enhance thermal and environmental stability compared to traditional epoxy components. The C503C line is engineered for reliability in demanding lighting environments requiring consistent performance over extended operational periods.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with C503C-WAS-CBBDB152 for similar specifications. Verify pin compatibility and thermal management requirements before substituting with other 5 mm white LEDs from different manufacturers.
