Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CX0Z0511 against official datasheets to confirm the exact binning parameters, including luminous intensity and color coordinates. Ensure compatibility with the specified 5 mm through-hole mounting style and verify RoHS compliance status for the target market regulations before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high brightness in a standard 5 mm form factor. The 2800 K warm white spectrum suits applications needing amber-like illumination. Confirm that the 55-degree beam angle meets visibility requirements and that the 20 mA drive current aligns with the system's power budget and thermal management capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree LED C513A family of 5 mm round LEDs. These components are engineered for reliability and superior light output compared to standard indicators. The series is designed for demanding lighting and illumination applications where consistent performance and durability under environmental stress are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Cree LED documentation for verified substitute part numbers within the C513A series. Cross-reference specifications such as forward voltage, luminous intensity, and color temperature to ensure functional equivalence without modifying the host circuit design.
