C566C-RFE-CU0W0BB2

Overview

The C566C-RFE-CU0W0BB2 is a single-color red LED from the Cree Screen Master family, designed for through-hole mounting in T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval packages. It emits light at a wavelength of 621 nm with a typical luminous intensity of 2200 mcd. The component operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.1 V, dissipating up to 130 mW. It features a tinted lens with clear transparency and offers a viewing angle of 70° x 35°. The device functions reliably within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Features an oval dome lens shape with tinted coloration for specific visual indication requirements.
• Utilizes a standard T-1 3/4 (5 mm) radial lead frame for easy through-hole PCB integration.
• Provides high brightness output suitable for panel indicators and status displays.

Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Equipment power-on signals
• Control board visual feedback

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix CU0W0BB2 against official datasheets to confirm optical binning and lens specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management designs, as the power rating is limited to 130 mW. Confirm RoHS compliance status via manufacturer documentation before final procurement approval.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a red oval LED with moderate brightness is required for through-hole applications. Compare the 2200 mcd intensity against alternatives if higher visibility is needed. Consider the 70° x 35° viewing angle for directional lighting needs rather than wide-area illumination.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master C566C series, which specializes in 5-mm oval LEDs. The series includes various colors and intensities, sharing common mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics while differing in optical performance and lens treatments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other C566C-RFE variants with different suffixes for adjusted intensity or lens types. Cross-brand replacements require matching the 5 mm oval footprint, 20 mA current rating, and similar forward voltage constraints.
