C503T-RCS-CV0Y0CC1

Overview

The C503T-RCS-CV0Y0CC1 is a single-color red LED from Cree LED, designed for through-hole mounting in the T-1 3/4 (5 mm) package. It features a dome-shaped tinted lens with a clear surface and emits light at a peak wavelength of 628 nm. The component operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.3 V, delivering an optical intensity of 3300 mcd. It provides a viewing angle of 30 degrees and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +95°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-intensity red illumination suitable for visual signaling
• Features a durable dome-shaped lens design for protection
• Supports standard through-hole PCB assembly processes

Applications

• General purpose indicator lighting
• Control panel status displays
• Instrumentation front panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CV0Y0CC1 against official datasheets to confirm exact optical parameters. Confirm RoHS compliance status as required by project specifications. Ensure the through-hole lead configuration matches the target PCB footprint dimensions prior to ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5 mm red indicator is required for general applications. Consider the 30-degree beam angle for visibility requirements. Evaluate the 2.3 V forward voltage drop for circuit power budget calculations. Verify thermal management capabilities for the intended operating environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C503T series of single-color LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The series offers various color options and lens configurations for different visual needs. This specific model represents a classic through-hole form factor widely used in electronic equipment for status indication.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 5 mm T-1 3/4 red LEDs. Verify matching electrical characteristics such as forward voltage and current ratings. Ensure mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mounting constraints.
