C566C-BFF-CT0V0352

Overview

The C566C-BFF-CT0V0352 is a single-color blue LED from the Cree Screen Master series, designed for through-hole mounting in a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval package. It emits light at a wavelength of 470 nm with a typical forward voltage of 3.4 V and a test current of 20 mA. The component features a tinted lens with clear transparency and an oval dome shape measuring 5.2 mm by 4.6 mm. Rated power is 140 mW, and it operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-intensity blue illumination via a 470 nm emission wavelength.
• Features a durable oval dome lens design for consistent optical performance.
• Supports standard through-hole PCB assembly techniques.

Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Status signaling devices
• Instrumentation displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CT0V0352 against official datasheets to confirm manufacturing origin and compliance status. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management designs as the component operates up to +85 °C. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as supply chain conditions may vary for this specific part number configuration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5 mm oval form factor is required for blue indication. Compare forward voltage requirements against the driving circuit capabilities, noting the 3.4 V typical drop. Consider the 70° x 35° viewing angle for visibility requirements in the target enclosure design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Screen Master family of 5 mm oval LEDs, which are widely used in industrial and commercial equipment. The C566C series specifically denotes the blue variant within this standardized footprint, offering a reliable alternative to traditional round 5 mm LEDs where space constraints or aesthetic uniformity are priorities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other C566C-BFF variants with different suffixes for packaging or binning differences. Generic replacements must match the 5 mm oval dimensions, 470 nm wavelength, and 3.4 V forward voltage characteristics to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
