C566C-GFE-CW0X0891

Overview

The C566C-GFE-CW0X0891 is a green single-color LED from the Screen Master series, manufactured by Cree LED. It features a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval package with a diffused lens measuring 5.20mm x 4.60mm. The component operates at a typical forward voltage of 3.4V and a test current of 20mA. It provides a viewing angle of 70 degrees by 35 degrees and is designed for through-hole mounting.

Feature Summary

• Oval-shaped radiation pattern optimized for visibility in variable-message signs
• Diffused lens design for uniform light distribution
• Screen Master series construction for passenger-information applications

Applications

• Variable-message signs
• Passenger-information displays
• General indication lighting

Procurement Notes

This specific part number is listed as obsolete and no longer manufactured by Cree LED. Procurement should focus on identifying direct substitutes or alternative components within the same product family that meet the required electrical and mechanical specifications. Verify availability through authorized distributors for replacement parts.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an oval form factor with diffused green illumination is required for high-visibility signage. Ensure the circuit design supports the 3.4V forward voltage drop at 20mA. Consider the 70x35 degree beam angle for optical alignment in panel-mounted applications requiring wide horizontal visibility.

Part Context

Part of the Cree Screen Master 5-mm Oval LED family, which includes variants like C566C-RFF/GFF/BFF/AFF. These LEDs are engineered specifically for transportation and public information displays where distinct oval shapes and high brightness are critical for readability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the C566D series. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics when transitioning to newer generations of oval LEDs from the manufacturer.
