C566C-AFF-CU0W0252

Overview

The C566C-AFF-CU0W0252 is a single-color amber LED from the Screen Master series by Cree LED. It utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) radial through-hole package with an oval dome lens measuring 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm. The component emits light at a peak wavelength of 584 nm with a viewing angle of 70° x 35°. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 2.1 V and a forward current of 20 mA, resulting in a power rating of 130 mW. It provides a luminous intensity of 2200 mcd. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +95°C and features a clear, diffused lens.

Feature Summary

• Features an oval dome lens design for specific beam distribution requirements
• Provides high luminous intensity suitable for indicator applications
• Constructed with a robust T-1 3/4 through-hole package for reliable mounting

Applications

• Signage and information displays
• Transportation signage indicators
• Message boards and digital signs
• Advertising backlighting components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CU0W0252 against official Cree LED documentation to confirm exact optical binning and packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for T-1 3/4 packages. Check RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity levels prior to assembly. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as supply chain conditions may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a specific amber hue at 584 nm is required for visibility. The oval shape distinguishes it from standard round LEDs, aiding in orientation or aesthetic design. Consider the 70° x 35° viewing angle for directional lighting needs. Evaluate thermal management capabilities given the +95°C maximum operating temperature limit for harsh environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566C family of high-brightness LEDs designed for signage and general indication. The Screen Master series focuses on delivering consistent color and intensity for commercial displays. It serves as a through-hole alternative to surface-mount options, offering mechanical stability for larger display structures.

Replacement Considerations

C566C-AFF-CU0W0251 is listed as a parameter-equivalent substitute. Verify lens transparency and intensity specifications before swapping. Other variants in the C566C series may differ in wavelength or package dimensions.
