Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CV0Y0231 against official Cree documentation to confirm exact binning parameters. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management designs. Confirm RoHS compliance status for the specific manufacturing batch. Validate that the 5mm T-1 3/4 package dimensions match assembly requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-intensity green indication with robust environmental stability. The 55-degree beam angle suits direct-view indicators. Consider the 4 V forward voltage drop when designing drive circuits. Verify availability as distribution data may vary by region.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree C513A series of 5mm round LEDs. The series is engineered for general illumination and indicator applications where sunlight readability is critical. The C513A line emphasizes long-term lumen maintenance and thermal resilience compared to standard discrete LEDs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes require matching 5mm through-hole form factors and 535 nm green emission. Verify equivalent luminous intensity and forward voltage characteristics. Cross-reference mechanical drawings for lead spacing and lens diameter compatibility.
