C566C-AFE-CV0W0341

Overview

The C566C-AFE-CV0W0341 is a single-color amber LED from Cree LED, designed for discrete indication applications. It features a radial T-1 3/4 (5 mm) package with an oval lens measuring 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm and a height of 7.8 mm. The component operates at a forward current of 20 mA with a forward voltage of 2.1 V and a power rating of 130 mW. It emits light at a wavelength of 591 nm with a luminous intensity of 2500 mcd. The viewing angle is specified as 70 degrees by 35 degrees, and it functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Radial leaded construction in a T-1 3/4 package for through-hole mounting
• Oval tinted lens providing directional illumination
• Amber emission optimized for visual status indication

Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Equipment status signaling
• Control board visual feedback

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to ensure compatibility with required forward voltage and luminous intensity tolerances. Confirm that the T-1 3/4 package dimensions align with PCB footprint constraints. Check for any recent lifecycle changes or obsolescence notices directly from Cree LED documentation before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a radial amber LED with a 591 nm peak wavelength is required for through-hole assembly. Ensure the circuit design supports a 20 mA forward current and accounts for the 2.1 V forward voltage drop. Consider the 70° x 35° viewing angle for optical alignment needs and verify thermal management capabilities for operation up to +85°C ambient temperatures.
