C566C-BFS-CS0W0451

Overview

The C566C-BFS-CS0W0451 is a single-color blue LED from the Cree Screen Master family, featuring a 5 mm oval radial package. It operates at a forward voltage of 3.4 V with a peak wavelength of 470 nm. The component supports a maximum continuous forward current of 50 mA and delivers a luminous intensity of 1.5 cd. Designed for through-hole mounting, it offers a viewing angle of 70 degrees and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to 95°C.

Feature Summary

• Features a tinted diffused lens optimized for signage visibility
• Provides high brightness output suitable for outdoor applications
• Utilizes a robust 5 mm oval radial package for mechanical stability

Applications

• Transportation signage
• Gas price signs
• Digital message boards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct optical and electrical characteristics. Confirm that the radial lead configuration matches the target PCB footprint requirements. Check RoHS compliance status directly with the supplier documentation prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-intensity blue indicator is required for large-format displays. Ensure the driving circuit can handle the 50 mA continuous current rating without exceeding thermal limits. Verify that the 70-degree beam angle aligns with the intended viewing distance and signage layout specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566C Screen Master series, designed specifically for high-brightness signage applications. The family utilizes advanced phosphor technology to enhance color blending and directionality. These LEDs are engineered for durability in demanding outdoor environments while maintaining consistent chromaticity over time.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 5 mm oval blue LEDs if supply constraints exist. Ensure substitute parts match the 3.4 V forward voltage and 50 mA current ratings. Verify that the replacement maintains the same radial package dimensions and viewing angle for direct fitment.
