C566C-GFE-CV0Z0892

Overview

The C566C-GFE-CV0Z0892 is a single-color green LED from the Cree Screen Master family, designed for through-hole mounting in a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval package. It emits at a wavelength of 527 nm with a forward voltage of 3.4 V and a test current of 20 mA. The component features a tinted, diffused lens measuring 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm, providing a viewing angle of 70° x 35°. With a luminous intensity of 7065 mcd and a power rating of 140 mW, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Engineered with an oval-shaped radiation pattern specifically optimized for variable-message signs and passenger-information displays.
• Utilizes a tinted diffused lens to ensure uniform light distribution across the 5 mm form factor.
• Constructed for reliable through-hole installation with standard radial lead spacing.

Applications

• Variable-message signs
• Passenger-information signs
• Public transportation display systems
