C566C-AFN-CU0V0342

Overview

The C566C-AFN-CU0V0342 is a single-color amber LED from the Cree Screen Master family, designed for through-hole mounting in T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval packages. It emits light at a peak wavelength of 596 nm with a typical forward voltage of 2.6 V and a test current of 20 mA. The component features an oval lens shape with dimensions of 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm and a height of 7.8 mm. It provides a viewing angle of 70° x 35° and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Features an oval dome lens design for specific optical distribution requirements.
• Utilizes a standard T-1 3/4 (5 mm) radial lead frame for easy PCB integration.
• Provides high-intensity amber illumination suitable for status indication applications.

Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Control board status displays
• Appliance front panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to ensure compatibility with specific binning requirements for wavelength and intensity. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any product change notifications or end-of-life notices prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a through-hole oval package is required for amber signaling. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 2.6 V forward voltage drop at 20 mA. Compare performance metrics against other Screen Master variants if different lens shapes or colors are needed for the same mechanical footprint.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master 5-mm Oval LED series, which offers a compact form factor for general-purpose indication. The C566C-AFN variant specifically targets amber emission applications, distinguishing it from red, green, or blue counterparts within the same physical package family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other C566C-AFN variants with different suffixes for adjusted intensity bins or packaging options. Cross-reference with similar oval 5mm LEDs from other manufacturers only if mechanical and electrical parameters match exactly.
