C513A-MSS-CX0Z0512

Overview

The C513A-MSS-CX0Z0512 is a warm white LED indicator from the Cree LED C513A series. It utilizes a 5 mm (T-1 3/4) radial through-hole package with a clear, round dome lens. The component emits light at a peak wavelength of 596 nm and operates with a typical forward voltage of 3.2 V at a test current of 20 mA. Key electrical parameters include a maximum power dissipation of 120 mW and a maximum forward current rating of 50 mA. The device features a viewing angle of 55 degrees and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Provides consistent warm white illumination suitable for visual status indication
• Features a standard 5 mm T-1 3/4 radial leaded package for easy integration
• Includes a clear dome lens to optimize light distribution and visibility

Applications

• Equipment status indicators
