C566C-AFS-CU0W0251

Overview

The C566C-AFS-CU0W0251 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 at a peak wavelength of 591 nm with a viewing angle of 70° x 35°. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 2.1 V and a forward current of 20 mA, resulting in a power rating of 130 mW. Optical intensity is rated at 2850 mcd. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +95°C.

Feature Summary

• Features a diffused amber oval dome lens for wide-angle light distribution
• Designed for standard through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards
• Complies with RoHS3 specifications and exhibits high moisture sensitivity level 1

Applications

• Panel indicator lights for electronic equipment
• Status signaling in control systems
• Instrumentation display illumination

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CU0W0251 against official datasheets to confirm optical binning and lens transparency. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability documentation. Confirm that the ordering quantity aligns with manufacturer standard packaging configurations. Cross-reference the part number with distributor catalogs to validate current availability status before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 591 nm amber emission with 2850 mcd intensity is required. The 2.1 V forward voltage suits low-voltage logic circuits. The 70° x 35° viewing angle supports broad visibility applications. Consider the 130 mW power rating for thermal management constraints. Verify compatibility with existing through-hole assembly processes and PCB footprint dimensions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566C family of single-color LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The Screen Master series offers standardized form factors for industrial and commercial lighting. The C566C-AFF variant serves as a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same product line. These components are designed for general indication purposes requiring reliable performance.

Replacement Considerations

C566C-AFF-CU0W0252 is listed as a parameter-equivalent substitute. Verify mechanical fit and optical characteristics before substitution.
