C513A-MSS-CV0Y0511

Overview

The C513A-MSS-CV0Y0511 is a 5mm (T-1 3/4) through-hole round LED manufactured by Cree LED. It emits warm white light with a typical color temperature of 2700K and a main wavelength of 610 nm. The component features a dome-shaped lens and operates at a forward current of 20 mA with a forward voltage of 2.1 V. It delivers a luminous intensity ranging from 2130 to 8200 mcd and has a viewing angle of 55 degrees. The device is rated for operation between -40°C and +95°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides superior light output for excellent readability in sunlight
• Ensures extremely stable light output over long periods
• Constructed with advanced optical-grade epoxy for high temperature and moisture resistance

Applications

• Torch lights
• Strip channel letters
• Retail displays
• General lighting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CV0Y0511 against official Cree documentation to confirm exact binning and color coordinates, as ordering suffixes define precise electrical and optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management and PCB footprint designs. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the latest datasheet before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high visibility in direct sunlight due to its superior light output characteristics. The 55-degree viewing angle and 5mm form factor make it suitable for indicator and signage uses where moderate beam spread is required. Consider the 2.1 V forward voltage drop when designing series resistor networks or constant current drivers for the circuit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree C513A series of 5mm round LEDs, designed for demanding illumination environments. The series utilizes advanced optical-grade epoxy to withstand harsh conditions. This specific model provides warm white emission, distinguishing it from cool white variants within the same package family, catering to aesthetic lighting needs.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Cree C513A variants such as C513A-WSS or C513A-WSN for different color temperatures. Verify pinout and mechanical dimensions match before substituting with non-Cree equivalents to ensure proper fit and electrical performance.
