Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete and no longer manufactured by the supplier. Procurement must focus on identifying verified direct substitutes or alternative part numbers that match the required electrical and mechanical specifications. Availability of original stock is not guaranteed, and sourcing should prioritize replacement components with confirmed compatibility data.

Selection Notes

Designers requiring this specific luminous intensity and spectral characteristics should evaluate available substitute LEDs within the same series. Verification of forward voltage, current ratings, and viewing angle is essential when selecting an alternative to ensure circuit performance remains consistent with the original design requirements.

Part Context

The C503D series represents a line of standard through-hole LEDs from Cree LED, known for reliability in general lighting and indication tasks. This specific model utilizes a cool white phosphor blend to achieve high color temperature output, distinguishing it from warm white variants in the broader product family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitute part numbers include C503C-series variants. Engineers should verify that the replacement component matches the 5mm T-1 3/4 package dimensions and 3.2V forward voltage to maintain board layout integrity.
