Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the C503C-ACN-CYCZA341 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

  • Color: Amber
  • Lens Size: 5.00mm Dia
  • Lens Style: Round with Domed Top
  • Lens Transparency: Clear
  • Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Typ): 2.1V
  • Current - Test: 20mA
  • Viewing Angle: 30°
  • Mounting Type: Through Hole
  • Height (Max): 10.10mm
  • Package / Case: Radial
  • RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
  • Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts must match all listed parameters. Variations in millicandela rating and dominant wavelength within the amber spectrum are permitted when all other electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both C503B-ACN-CY0Z0341-030 and C503C-ACN-CYCZA251 are qualified substitutes for the C503C-ACN-CYCZA341 based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications. All three parts are manufactured by CreeLED, Inc., carry active product status, and maintain RoHS compliance with MSL 1 rating.

C503B-ACN-CY0Z0341-030 exhibits a dominant wavelength of 590nm with 8930mcd brightness, representing a minor shift within the amber spectrum while maintaining identical forward voltage, current rating, and physical dimensions.

C503C-ACN-CYCZA251 matches the main part identically across all specified parameters, including 591nm dominant wavelength and 8650mcd brightness rating.

Selection between these substitutes depends on inventory availability and application-specific brightness requirements, as both maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C503B-ACN-CY0Z0341-030 be used as a direct replacement for C503C-ACN-CYCZA341?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical forward voltage (2.1V), test current (20mA), viewing angle (30°), physical dimensions (5.00mm lens, 10.10mm height), and mounting configuration (through-hole radial). The dominant wavelength difference (590nm vs 591nm) and brightness variation (8930mcd vs 8650mcd) remain within the amber LED specification range.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution?

A: Substitution requires matching color (amber), lens size (5.00mm), lens style (round with domed top), lens transparency (clear), forward voltage (2.1V), test current (20mA), viewing angle (30°), mounting type (through-hole), maximum height (10.10mm), package type (radial), and compliance certifications (RoHS, MSL 1).

Q: Are all substitute parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. C503C-ACN-CYCZA341, C503B-ACN-CY0Z0341-030, and C503C-ACN-CYCZA251 are all manufactured by CreeLED, Inc.

Q: Does the brightness difference between substitutes affect circuit compatibility?

A: No. Both substitute parts operate at identical forward voltage and test current specifications. Brightness variations (8650mcd vs 8930mcd) are application-dependent considerations but do not affect electrical compatibility or circuit operation.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts carry RoHS Compliant status with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).
