C566C-RFE-CV0W0BB1

Overview

The C566C-RFE-CV0W0BB1 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 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° x 35°. The device functions reliably between -40°C and +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Features an oval dome lens shape with tinted coloring for specific visual indication requirements.
• Utilizes a standard T-1 3/4 through-hole package configuration for easy circuit board integration.
• Provides high-intensity red illumination suitable for status indicators and panel displays.

Applications

• Panel-mounted status indicators
• Control interface lighting
• Equipment operational signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix to confirm lens tinting and binning specifications, as variations exist within the C566C series. Ensure compatibility with existing through-hole footprints and thermal management requirements for continuous operation at elevated temperatures up to 85°C. Cross-reference datasheet electrical limits against actual circuit design parameters.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5 mm oval form factor is required for red indication applications. Consider the 20 mA forward current rating and 2.1 V drop for resistor calculations. Compare against other colors in the C566C family if different visibility or signaling standards are needed. Verify ambient temperature constraints do not exceed the specified maximum operating limit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master C566C product line, which specializes in 5 mm oval LEDs. The series offers various color options including red, amber, blue, and green, all sharing similar mechanical dimensions and mounting characteristics. This specific model represents the red emission variant optimized for general-purpose visual feedback in electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other C566C-RFE variants with matching electrical and mechanical profiles. Check equivalent offerings from manufacturers producing T-1 3/4 oval red LEDs with comparable luminous intensity and forward voltage characteristics to ensure functional interchangeability.
