Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact color temperature and binning requirements. Ensure compatibility with standard 5mm through-hole mounting processes. Check datasheet specifications for thermal management needs given the 120 mW power rating. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations. Validate that the 3.2 V forward voltage aligns with the target circuit design.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high brightness in a compact 5mm form factor. The 2800 K color temperature suits warm ambient lighting needs. Consider the 55-degree viewing angle for directional visibility requirements. Evaluate the 20 mA forward current against available drive circuits. Compare performance against other C513A variants for specific color or intensity constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C513A-MSN series of low-power LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The series offers various color temperatures, with the MSN variant specifically targeting warm white outputs around 2800 K. These components are designed for reliable operation in consumer electronics and indicator applications, utilizing a standard radial lead frame construction.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 5mm warm white LEDs from Cree such as the C513A-MSN-CW0Z0131, provided electrical and optical parameters match. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions before substitution. Cross-reference datasheets for equivalent forward voltage and luminous intensity values.
