C566C-GFF-CW0X0892

Overview

The C566C-GFF-CW0X0892 is a single-color green LED from the Cree Screen Master family, designed for variable-message and passenger-information signs. It features a 5mm oval lens with a domed top and diffused transparency. The component operates at a test current of 20mA and emits light at 527nm. Physical dimensions include a lens size of 5.20mm x 4.60mm and a maximum height of 11.90mm. It utilizes radial mount technology with a 2.54mm lead gap.

Feature Summary

• Oval-shaped radiation pattern optimized for signage visibility
• Diffused lens transparency for uniform light distribution
• High brightness output suitable for daytime readability

Applications

• Variable-message signs
• Passenger-information displays
• Transportation signage

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CW0X0892 against official Cree documentation to confirm exact optical characteristics and binning. Ensure compatibility with existing radial mount footprints and thermal management requirements for high-brightness signage applications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5mm oval form factor with diffused optics is required for information signage. Consider the 527nm wavelength and radial mounting style for integration into existing display matrices. Evaluate the 11.90mm height constraint for enclosure design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master 5-mm Oval LED series, which includes variants like C566C-RFS/GFS/BFS/AFS. These LEDs are engineered specifically for high-visibility applications, offering enhanced directionality and color blending capabilities compared to standard through-hole indicators.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other C566C series variants such as C566C-RFE or C566C-GFF-CV0Z0892 for alternative colors or packaging. Verify mechanical compatibility with competing 70/30 oval LED standards if retrofitting existing signage infrastructure.
