C513A-MSS-CV0Y0232

Overview

The C513A-MSS-CV0Y0232 is a warm white (2800K) discrete LED indicator from Cree LED, housed in a 5mm round radial package. It operates with a typical forward voltage of 3.2V and a test current of 20mA. The component features a viewing angle of 55 degrees and offers luminous intensity ranging from 2.13 cd to 8.2 cd. Designed for through-hole mounting, it supports wave soldering and functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +95°C.

Feature Summary

• Warm white light emission at 2800K color temperature
• Standard radial 5mm through-hole package configuration
• High luminous intensity output up to 8.2 candela
• Robust thermal performance across extended temperature ranges

Applications

• Panel status indication
• Power supply visual signaling
• Equipment operational feedback

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CV0Y0232 against official Cree LED documentation to confirm the exact binning and optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with standard wave soldering processes. Confirm RoHS compliance status as per the latest manufacturer data sheets before integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-intensity warm white indicator is required for visible status signaling. The 55-degree viewing angle provides adequate visibility for front-panel applications. Consider the 3.2V forward voltage drop for circuit design calculations and ensure the driving current does not exceed the specified 20mA test limit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C513A series of discrete LEDs, characterized by their radial leaded construction. The MSS/MSN series designation typically denotes specific lens styles and packaging variations within the Cree LED portfolio, focusing on reliable through-hole mounting solutions for industrial and consumer electronics.

Replacement Considerations

C513A-WSS-CX0Z0231 is listed as a parameter-equivalent substitute. Verify electrical and mechanical compatibility before substitution.
