Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete and no longer manufactured by Cree LED. Verification of availability should focus on distributor surplus stock or authorized secondary market sources rather than direct factory orders. Buyers must confirm the authenticity and date code of any available units, as production has ceased. Substitution planning is recommended due to the end-of-life status.

Selection Notes

Select this part only if legacy compatibility with existing PCB footprints and optical requirements is mandatory. The 470 nm blue emission and 1500 mcd intensity define its visual performance. Consider alternative active components from the same manufacturer if long-term supply stability is required, as this specific variant is discontinued.

Part Context

Part of the Screen Master series, designed for discrete LED indication applications. The C566C-BFE-CS0W0451 utilizes a radial lead configuration suitable for standard through-hole assembly processes. It belongs to the broader category of single-color LEDs used for visual signaling in industrial and commercial devices.

Replacement Considerations

Official substitutes are not explicitly listed in the provided documentation. Users should consult Cree LED's official substitution guide or contact distributors for equivalent active parts with matching electrical and mechanical specifications.
