C566C-RFE-CU0W0BB1

Overview

The C566C-RFE-CU0W0BB1 is a single-color red LED from the Cree Screen Master family, designed for through-hole mounting in a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval package. It emits light at a wavelength of 621 nm with a tinted lens and clear transparency. The component operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.1 V, rated for 130 mW power dissipation. It delivers an optical intensity of 2200 mcd within a viewing angle of 70 degrees by 35 degrees. The unit functions reliably between -40°C and +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Features an oval lens shape with tinted coloration and clear transparency for distinct visual indication.
• Utilizes a standard T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole form factor compatible with radial mounting.

Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Control interface signaling
• Equipment power state display

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CU0W0BB1 against official datasheets to confirm exact binning and optical characteristics. Confirm RoHS compliance status via manufacturer documentation before integration. Ensure thermal management aligns with the 130 mW rating and operating temperature range during design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a red oval indicator is required for through-hole PCB assembly. Compare optical intensity and viewing angles against alternative colors in the C566C series if visibility requirements differ. Verify that the 20 mA forward current matches the driving circuit capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master C566C series, which provides standardized 5 mm oval LEDs. The series includes variants in red, amber, blue, and green, sharing similar mechanical dimensions and electrical profiles while differing in wavelength and luminous intensity specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other C566C-RFE variants for different packaging or intensity bins. Verify mechanical compatibility with existing footprints when substituting with generic 5 mm oval LEDs.
