C566C-AFN-CV0W0341

Overview

The C566C-AFN-CV0W0341 is a single-color amber LED from the Screen Master series, manufactured by Cree LED. It utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole radial package with an oval dome lens. The component emits light at a peak wavelength of 596 nm and provides a typical luminous intensity of 4.2 cd when driven at a forward current of 20 mA. The forward voltage is specified at 2.6 V. It features a viewing angle of 70 degrees by 35 degrees and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +95°C.

Feature Summary

• Emits amber light with a peak wavelength of 596 nm
• Features high luminous intensity of 4.2 cd at standard test conditions
• Utilizes a T-1 3/4 oval dome lens for directional light distribution
• Designed for through-hole mounting in standard PCB layouts

Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Instrumentation displays
• Control board signaling
• Industrial equipment front panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CV0W0341 against official Cree documentation to confirm exact binning and optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing assembly processes for T-1 3/4 packages. Check for recent Product Change Notifications regarding material or packaging updates before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high visibility amber indication is required in a standard 5mm form factor. The 4.2 cd intensity suits applications needing clear visual feedback without excessive power consumption. Consider the 70x35 degree viewing angle for optimal alignment with user sightlines in panel mount designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master C566C family, known for reliable performance in indicator applications. The C566C-AFN variant specifically denotes the amber color option within the oval lens configuration. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy 5mm oval LEDs requiring similar electrical and mechanical constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Direct parameter-equivalent alternatives include C566C-AFN-CU0W0251 and C566C-AFN-CU0W0252. Verify that substitute parts match the 596 nm wavelength and 4.2 cd intensity requirements to maintain consistent visual performance across the assembly.
