Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CV0Y0512 against official datasheets to confirm the exact warm white binning and luminous intensity class. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for 5mm T-1 3/4 components. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any product change notifications that may affect material composition or manufacturing origin prior to final procurement authorization.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high visibility in direct sunlight is required due to its superior light output characteristics. The 55-degree viewing angle offers a balanced beam spread suitable for general indication tasks. Consider the thermal stability provided by the optical-grade epoxy if the application involves elevated ambient temperatures or humidity exposure during operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree C513A series of 5mm round LEDs, designed for robust industrial and commercial applications. The series is characterized by its use of advanced epoxy materials to withstand harsh environmental conditions. It serves as a reliable indicator solution where consistent brightness and longevity are critical operational requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other C513A variants such as C513A-WSS or C513A-WSN for different color temperatures. Verify mechanical fitment with standard 5mm through-hole layouts. Ensure electrical parameters like forward voltage align with the driving circuit design before substituting.
