C513A-WSS-CY0Z0342

Overview

The C513A-WSS-CY0Z0342 is a standard white LED from the Cree LED C513A series, designed for through-hole mounting in a 5 mm round package. It features a clear lens and operates with a typical forward voltage of 3.2 V at a test current of 20 mA. The component delivers a luminous intensity ranging from 2130 to 8200 mcd and provides a viewing angle of 55 degrees. It is RoHS compliant and suitable for applications requiring reliable performance in lighting and illumination environments.

Feature Summary

• Provides superior light output for excellent readability in sunlight
• Ensures extremely stable light output over long periods of time
• Constructed with advanced optical-grade epoxy for high temperature and moisture resistance

Applications

• Torch lights
• Strip channel letters
• Retail displays
• General lighting and illumination

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CY0Z0342 against official Cree datasheets to confirm exact binning and color coordinates. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for 5 mm through-hole components. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by local regulations. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications that may affect material composition or packaging.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high visibility in bright ambient light is required. The 55-degree viewing angle offers a balance between focused beam and wide dispersion. Consider the 3.2 V forward voltage drop for power budget calculations. The optical-grade epoxy construction makes it suitable for harsher environmental conditions compared to standard indicators.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree C513A series of 5 mm round LEDs. The series is known for dependable performance and high luminous intensity. It serves as a standard indicator and illumination source within the broader Cree LED portfolio, offering various color temperatures and intensities across different suffix configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Cree C513A variants with matching electrical characteristics. Verify pinout compatibility for through-hole installation. Cross-reference luminous intensity bins to ensure equivalent brightness levels are maintained in the final assembly.
