C513A-WSS-CW0Y0232

Overview

The C513A-WSS-CW0Y0232 is a 5-mm round through-hole LED manufactured by Cree LED, emitting cool white light with a typical color temperature of 9000 K. It features a standard radial package with a dome lens and a viewing angle of 55 degrees. The component operates at a forward current of 20 mA with a typical forward voltage of 3.2 V. Luminous intensity ranges from 2130 to 8200 mcd. It is RoHS compliant and designed for high-temperature and moisture-resistant applications.

Feature Summary

• Advanced optical-grade epoxy construction provides superior resistance to high temperatures and high moisture levels.
• Ensures extremely stable light output over long operational periods for dependable performance.
• Offers superior light output suitable for excellent readability in direct sunlight conditions.

Applications

• Torch lights
• Strip channel lettering
• Retail display lighting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CW0Y0232 against official datasheets to confirm luminous intensity binning and color temperature tolerances. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management designs, as the component requires appropriate heat dissipation despite low power ratings. Confirm RoHS compliance status matches current regulatory requirements for the target market before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high visibility in bright ambient light is required due to its superior sunlight readability. The 55-degree viewing angle suits applications needing focused illumination rather than wide dispersion. Verify that the 5-mm radial package fits the mechanical constraints of the target enclosure and PCB layout.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree C513A series of 5-mm round LEDs. The series is engineered for general indication and illumination tasks requiring robust environmental performance. The WSS suffix typically denotes the specific lens and lead configuration within the product family.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify electrical parameters such as forward voltage and current against potential alternatives to ensure circuit compatibility.
