C512A-WNS-CA0C0152

Overview

The C512A-WNS-CA0C0152 is a through-hole white LED from the Cree LED C512A series, designed for indicator applications. It features a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) round package with a clear dome lens and radial configuration. The component emits cool white light at a color temperature of 9000 K. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 3.2 V and a test current of 20 mA. The device offers a viewing angle of 25 degrees and is rated for operation between -40°C and +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Radial through-hole construction in a standard 5 mm T-1 3/4 package
• Cool white illumination with a 9000 K correlated color temperature
• Narrow 25-degree viewing angle for directional indication
• Clear water-clear dome lens for optical transmission

Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Equipment power state signaling
• Control board visual feedback

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CA0C0152 against official Cree documentation to confirm binning and optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for 5 mm radial LEDs. Check RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer datasheet before integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow beam angle is required for precise visual indication. The 9000 K color temperature provides a distinct cool white appearance suitable for high-contrast visibility. Confirm that the 3.2 V forward voltage aligns with the driving circuit design and available current sources.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C512A family of low-power white LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The series utilizes established LED chip technology packaged in durable plastic housings. These components are engineered for reliability in standard industrial and consumer electronic environments.
