• Passenger-information signs
• Outdoor signal indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify component status as this specific part number is listed as obsolete and no longer manufactured. Confirm availability of direct substitutes or alternative series members such as the C566D series if replacement is required. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards and check datasheet revisions for any changes in electrical characteristics before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-intensity green indication with a specific oval beam profile. Consider the 20 mA forward current and 3.4 V forward voltage when designing drive circuits. Evaluate the operating temperature range and moisture resistance requirements against environmental conditions. Verify mechanical fit within the T-1 3/4 package constraints.

Part Context

This LED belongs to the Cree Screen Master 5-mm Oval LED family, which includes variants like C566C-RFF and C566C-BFS. These components are engineered for high visibility in transportation and information display systems. The family utilizes advanced epoxy materials to ensure durability in harsh environments while maintaining consistent optical performance over time.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitute part numbers include models from the C566D series. Verify electrical compatibility and mechanical footprint before substitution.
