C566C-BFE-CS0W0452

Overview

The C566C-BFE-CS0W0452 is a single-color blue LED from the Screen Master series, manufactured by Cree LED. It utilizes a through-hole mounting style within a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) package featuring an oval lens measuring 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm. The component emits light at a wavelength of 470 nm with a clear tinted lens. Electrical characteristics include a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 3.4 V, resulting in a power rating of 140 mW. It provides a luminous intensity of 1500 mcd and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Features an oval-shaped radiation pattern specifically engineered for variable-message signs and passenger-information displays.
• Provides high brightness output suitable for transportation signage applications requiring specialized beam angles.
• Constructed with a durable through-hole design compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.

Applications

• Variable-message signs
• Passenger-information signs
• Transportation signage

Procurement Notes
