C513A-MSS-CW0Y0232

Overview

The C513A-MSS-CW0Y0232 is a through-hole, cool white LED from the Cree LED C513A series. It features a 5 mm round dome lens and operates at a forward current of 20 mA with a typical forward voltage of 3.2 V. The component emits light at a color temperature of 9000 K with a luminous intensity ranging from 2130 to 8200 mcd. It has a viewing angle of 55 degrees and a power rating of 120 mW. The device functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +95°C.

Feature Summary

• Advanced optical-grade epoxy construction for high-temperature and moisture resistance
• Stable light output suitable for sunlight readability
• RoHS-compliant lead-free design

Applications

• Torch lights
• Strip channel letters
• Retail display lighting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CW0Y0232 against official datasheets to confirm exact binning parameters. Check manufacturer announcements for end-of-life status or product change notices. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts due to the T-1 3/4 (5 mm) radial package dimensions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-intensity cool white illumination is required for outdoor or high-visibility applications. The 55-degree beam angle provides focused light distribution. Consider the 3.2 V forward voltage drop for circuit design and ensure thermal management supports the 120 mW power dissipation rating.

Part Context
