C566C-GFE-CX0Y0892

Overview

The C566C-GFE-CX0Y0892 is a single-color green oval LED from the Cree LED C566E Screen Master family. It features a through-hole mounting type with a dominant wavelength of 527nm. The component operates at a forward current of 20mA and has a forward voltage of 3.4V, resulting in a power rating of 140mW. It offers viewing angles of 70° and 35°. Designed for outdoor applications, it provides excellent brightness for sunlight visibility and low-power consumption.

Feature Summary

• Taller lens design enhances reliability and protects internal components
• Drop-in compatible with competing 70/30 oval LED form factors
• Optimized for high-brightness signage and digital display applications

Applications

• Message boards and information signs
• Digital signs and scoreboards
• Advertising displays and backlighting
• Roadway and gas price signs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CX0Y0892 against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact binning and optical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints designed for standard 70/30 oval LEDs. Confirm lifecycle status as active or obsolete before finalizing procurement plans. Check for alternative packaging options if bulk ordering is required.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high visibility in bright ambient light conditions. The 527nm green wavelength provides distinct color rendering suitable for traffic and informational signage. Consider the through-hole package for robust mechanical mounting. Evaluate power consumption requirements given the 140mW rating at standard test currents.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566E Screen Master series, which utilizes FusionBeam technology for enhanced color blending and directionality. The family is engineered for video screens and signage, offering improved daytime visibility and reduced light trespass compared to standard LEDs. The taller lens construction distinguishes it from previous generations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 70/30 oval green LEDs with similar 527nm wavelengths and 20mA ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and forward voltage tolerances when cross-referencing with competitor parts. Ensure replacement components meet the same environmental and reliability standards for outdoor signage use.
