C513A-MSS-CW0Y0511

Overview

The C513A-MSS-CW0Y0511 is a white LED from the Cree LED C513A series, designed for through-hole mounting in a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) round package. It features a clear dome lens and emits cool white light with a color temperature of 7500 K. The component operates at a forward current of 20 mA with a typical forward voltage of 3.2 V. It provides an optical intensity of 2130 mcd within a 55-degree viewing angle. The device supports a maximum power rating of 120 mW and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +95°C.

Feature Summary

• Through-hole radial lead construction for standard PCB insertion
• Clear dome-shaped lens for directional light emission
• Cool white spectral output optimized for high visibility

Applications

• General purpose indicator lighting
• Control panel status displays
• Instrumentation front panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact binning and packaging requirements. Ensure that the procurement channel provides official documentation for RoHS compliance and material declarations. Cross-reference the ordering part number with the latest production status to avoid obsolete stock issues during supply chain planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5 mm through-hole form factor is required for mechanical compatibility. The 7500 K color temperature suits applications demanding high contrast and bright white illumination. Consider the 55-degree beam width for focused indicator needs rather than wide-area diffusion. Verify thermal management capabilities align with the 120 mW power dissipation limit in the target enclosure.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C513A family of mid-power LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The series utilizes established phosphor conversion technology to produce consistent white light outputs. The T-1 3/4 package represents a legacy but widely adopted standard in industrial electronics, ensuring broad availability of compatible fixtures and mounting hardware across various equipment generations.
