Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status and confirm end-of-life or obsolescence status before procurement, as this specific part number may be discontinued or subject to supply constraints. Cross-reference datasheet parameters against current project requirements to ensure compatibility with existing circuit designs and thermal management systems.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-brightness blue indicator is required for through-hole PCB assembly. Ensure the driving circuit supports the 3.4 V forward voltage drop at 20 mA. Consider the 70x35 degree beam angle for visibility requirements in signage or panel indicators where directional light output is necessary.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566C Screen Master series, which offers taller lenses for enhanced protection and reliability compared to standard 5 mm LEDs. The family is optimized for high-brightness applications, including video screens and transportation signage, providing industry-leading color blending and directionality.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Check manufacturer announcements for direct replacements or updated series equivalents if this component is obsolete.
