• Digital signage components

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by checking manufacturer markings against official datasheets. Confirm RoHS compliance status prior to integration. Ensure handling procedures protect the lead frame and lens surface during assembly. Validate electrical parameters match circuit requirements before deployment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high visibility red indication is required in standard 5mm through-hole layouts. Consider the 30-degree beam angle for focused signaling needs. Evaluate thermal management capabilities given the maximum operating temperature limit. Compare luminous intensity requirements against alternative colors in the same series.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree C503 series of 5mm round LEDs, which are engineered for high lumen output. The series includes various color options optimized for signage and general indication. The C503T variant specifically denotes the through-hole configuration within this product family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include C503T-RCN-CV0Y0CC2, which shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Verify pin compatibility and lens shape alignment when swapping between these specific part numbers.
