Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix CT0W0BB2 against official datasheets to confirm optical binning and lens specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for T-1 3/4 packages. Confirm RoHS compliance status for your region. Check lead times as availability may vary by distributor.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a red oval LED with high brightness is required for through-hole assembly. Compare forward voltage and current requirements against circuit designs. Consider the viewing angle and lens tint for visibility needs. Verify thermal operating limits match the application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master C566C series, which offers various color and lens options in a standard 5 mm form factor. The series is known for consistent performance in industrial and commercial lighting applications. Other variants in the family differ primarily in emission color and lens transparency.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the T-1 3/4 package, red emission, and oval lens shape. Verify equivalent electrical characteristics such as forward voltage and current ratings. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering similar oval LEDs if Cree supply is limited.
