Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the C503B-GCS-CB0C0892 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Color: Green
• Wavelength - Dominant: 527nm
• Lens Size: 5.00mm Dia
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Typ): 3.2V
• Current - Test: 20mA
• Millicandela Rating: 24850mcd
• Viewing Angle: 30°
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
• Base Product Number: C503B
• Manufacturer: CreeLED, Inc.
• Product Status: Active

The identified substitute part C503B-GCN-CB0C0892 maintains electrical and optical equivalence across all critical parameters. The primary difference is packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Box) and physical height specification, which do not affect functional performance in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The C503B-GCN-CB0C0892 is a direct functional equivalent to the C503B-GCS-CB0C0892. Both parts are Active products with identical electrical and optical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability:

• C503B-GCS-CB0C0892 (Tape & Box): Suitable for applications requiring bulk packaging with protective boxing for storage and transport.
• C503B-GCN-CB0C0892 (Cut Tape): Suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly processes and applications with continuous tape feed requirements.

Both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements and carry unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, making them suitable for standard manufacturing and storage conditions. The height differential (12.70mm vs. 10.30mm) reflects normal manufacturing tolerance variation within the 5mm round through-hole LED category and does not impact circuit-level compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C503B-GCN-CB0C0892 be used as a direct replacement for C503B-GCS-CB0C0892?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and optically identical with matching forward voltage (3.2V), test current (20mA), luminous intensity (24850mcd), wavelength (527nm), and viewing angle (30°). The difference is packaging format only.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main difference is packaging. C503B-GCS-CB0C0892 is supplied in Tape & Box format, while C503B-GCN-CB0C0892 is supplied in Cut Tape format. This affects handling, storage, and assembly process compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. C503B-GCN-CB0C0892 carries ROHS3 certification while C503B-GCS-CB0C0892 carries RoHS compliance. Both meet standard regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: Does the height difference affect circuit performance?

A: No. The height variation (12.70mm vs. 10.30mm) is within normal manufacturing tolerance for 5mm through-hole LEDs and does not affect electrical performance or circuit compatibility.

Q: Which part should I select for automated assembly?

A: C503B-GCN-CB0C0892 in Cut Tape format is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly systems with continuous tape feed capability.

Q: Which part should I select for manual assembly or prototyping?

A: C503B-GCS-CB0C0892 in Tape & Box format is suitable for manual assembly, prototyping, and applications where bulk packaging with protective boxing is preferred.
