C566C-BFE-CU0V0451

Overview

The C566C-BFE-CU0V0451 is a single-color blue LED from the Screen Master series by Cree LED. It utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole package with an oval lens measuring 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm. The component emits light at a wavelength of 470 nm, characterized by a forward voltage of 3.4 V and a test current of 20 mA. It offers a typical luminous intensity of 2200 mcd with a viewing angle of 70 degrees horizontally and 35 degrees vertically. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and features a clear tinted lens.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct binning and optical characteristics. Confirm RoHS compliance status and packaging quantity requirements prior to order placement. Cross-reference the Mouser part number 941-C566C-BFE-CU0V0451 for accurate sourcing details.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a standard 5 mm oval footprint with high brightness output. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 3.4 V forward voltage drop at 20 mA operating current. Consider the 70° x 35° viewing angle for optimal visibility in panel mount configurations.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566C-RFE/C566E series of Screen Master LEDs, designed for discrete indication. It shares mechanical dimensions with other variants in the family but differs in semiconductor material and emission color. The product line focuses on reliable through-hole mounting solutions for industrial and consumer electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include C566C-BFS-CU0V0451 and C566C-BFS-CS0W0451, which share identical mechanical packages and electrical parameters. Verify lens transparency and specific wavelength tolerances when swapping between these variants.
