C566C-GFE-CX0Y0891

Overview

The C566C-GFE-CX0Y0891 is a single-color green 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 and domed top. The component operates at a forward voltage of 3.4 V and emits light at a wavelength of 525-535 nm. It provides a typical luminous intensity of 6190 mcd with a viewing angle of 70° x 35°. Designed for through-hole mounting, it has a maximum continuous forward current of 50 mA and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Oval-shaped radiation pattern optimized for variable-message signs
• High luminous intensity output in a standard 5 mm form factor
• Diffused lens design for uniform light distribution

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify availability status as this component may be subject to discontinuation or limited supply. Confirm RoHS compliance and specific binning requirements for color consistency during procurement. Check for official End-of-Life notifications or Product Change Notices that may affect long-term sourcing stability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high brightness is required within a 5 mm oval footprint. Ensure circuit design supports the 3.4 V forward voltage drop and 50 mA maximum current rating. Verify mechanical clearance for the 7.8 mm height and 2.54 mm lead spacing in the target assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master family, which specializes in oval LEDs for transportation and information display applications. The C566C series offers various color options including green, amber, red, and blue, all sharing similar mechanical dimensions and optical characteristics tailored for readability in public signage.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Screen Master oval LEDs such as C566C-GFF-CV0Z0791 or C566C-GFN-CX0Y0891, provided electrical parameters match. Cross-reference datasheets for exact luminous intensity bins and forward voltage tolerances before substitution.
