C566C-BFN-CS0W0352

Overview

The C566C-BFN-CS0W0352 is a single-color blue oval LED from the Screen Master family, designed for through-hole mounting. It features a tinted diffused lens with dimensions of 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm and a height of 7.8 mm. The component operates at a forward current of 20 mA with a forward voltage of 3.4 V, rated at 140 mW. It emits light at a wavelength of 470 nm with an intensity of 1500 mcd. The viewing angle is 70 degrees by 35 degrees, and it functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Features a taller lens design that provides enhanced physical protection to the LED die and improves overall reliability in harsh environments.
• Offers drop-in compatibility with competing 70/30 oval LEDs, facilitating straightforward integration into existing signage designs without PCB modifications.

Applications

• Transportation signage
• Digital information signs
• Advertising displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CS0W0352 against official Cree LED documentation to confirm current availability status and manufacturing lifecycle stage. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required binning specifications for color consistency and optical intensity. Confirm RoHS compliance details directly from the manufacturer's datasheet before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5mm oval footprint is required but higher durability or specific beam characteristics are needed. The Screen Master series offers superior lens protection compared to traditional oval LEDs. Consider the 70x35 degree viewing angle for applications requiring directional visibility rather than wide-area illumination.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566E/C566C Screen Master family, which includes various colors and intensities. These LEDs are engineered specifically for high-brightness signage applications where reliability and visual clarity are critical. The family shares common mechanical dimensions while varying in optical performance parameters.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify mechanical compatibility with legacy 70/30 oval LED footprints if replacing older components. Consult Cree LED technical support for direct equivalents with adjusted optical specifications.
