C503D-WAN-CBBDB151

Overview

The C503D-WAN-CBBDB151 is a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) through-hole round LED manufactured by Cree LED, emitting cool white light. It features a 2-pin configuration with a maximum forward current of 30 mA and a forward voltage of 4 V. The device has a power dissipation rating of 120 mW and operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to 95 °C. Key optical specifications include a viewing angle of 15 degrees, a luminous intensity of 33125 mcd, and a color temperature of 9000 K. The lens is round with a diameter of 5 mm and a total height of 8.8 mm.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes advanced optical grade epoxy for superior high temperature and moisture resistance.
• Encapsulation resin contains UV inhibitors to minimize effects of long-term sunlight exposure.
• Provides stable light output over the life of the LED for dependable performance.

Applications

• Electronic Signs & Signals
• Motorway Signs
• Variable-Message Sign

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CBBDB151' against official Cree LED documentation to confirm binning codes for luminous intensity and chromaticity coordinates. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your target market. Confirm that the 5 mm radial package dimensions align with your PCB footprint design before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow 15-degree beam angle is required for outdoor signage applications. The 9000 K color temperature provides a distinct cool white appearance suitable for high-readability environments. Consider the 30 mA maximum forward current limit and 120 mW power dissipation rating for thermal management in the final assembly design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree LED C503 series of 5 mm round LEDs. This family is designed for outdoor sign and signal applications where durability and readability are critical. The series offers various beam angles and colors, utilizing robust encapsulation materials to withstand harsh environmental conditions compared to standard indicator LEDs.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other C503D variants such as C503D-WAS or C503D-RAN if different color temperatures or intensities are acceptable. Verify mechanical compatibility with existing tooling and PCB layouts when substituting with similar 5 mm through-hole LEDs from other manufacturers.
