C566C-BFE-CS0W0352

Overview

The C566C-BFE-CS0W0352 is a single-color blue LED from the Screen Master series by Cree LED. It features a radial T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval package with tinted blue lens dimensions of 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 3.4 V and emits light at a wavelength of 470 nm. It delivers an optical intensity of 2200 mcd within a viewing angle of 70 degrees by 35 degrees, rated for power dissipation of 130 mW across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Emits blue light at 470 nm wavelength
• Utilizes a radial T-1 3/4 oval package design
• Provides high optical intensity of 2200 mcd
• Compatible with through-hole mounting techniques

Applications

• Industrial equipment status indication
• Control panel visual signaling
• Electronic device front-panel indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CS0W0352 against official Cree LED documentation to confirm the blue color variant and 3.4V forward voltage rating. Ensure the selected packaging matches project requirements, as variations exist between bulk and tape-and-reel formats. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and current production status before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5mm oval form factor is required for blue indication applications. The 3.4V forward voltage necessitates appropriate current-limiting resistor calculations compared to lower-voltage alternatives. Consider the 70°x35° viewing angle for visibility requirements and ensure the through-hole footprint aligns with existing PCB layout constraints for reliable mechanical installation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Screen Master series, designed for general-purpose indication tasks. It represents a standard radial LED configuration commonly used in legacy and modern electronic assemblies requiring discrete visual feedback. The product line emphasizes reliability and consistent optical performance for industrial and commercial hardware applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include C566C-BFE-CS0W0352 variants with different packaging options such as tape-and-box configurations. Verify electrical compatibility regarding forward voltage and current ratings when considering alternative suppliers or updated manufacturing revisions.
