C566C-RFE-CV0W0BB2

Overview

The C566C-RFE-CV0W0BB2 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 with a viewing angle of 70 degrees by 35 degrees. The unit functions within a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C and measures 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm x 7.8 mm.

Feature Summary

• Features an oval dome lens shape with tinted amber-red coloring for specific visual signaling applications.
• Utilizes a radial through-hole mounting style compatible with standard PCB layouts.

Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Status signaling devices
• Control board illumination

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix CV0W0BB2 against manufacturer documentation to confirm lens tint and optical specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management requirements given the 85 °C maximum operating limit. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official datasheets prior to integration into regulated products.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a distinct red oval form factor is required for high visibility. Compare against the C566C-RFE-CU0V0BB2 variant if different packaging or specific optical intensity thresholds are necessary. Evaluate the 70° x 35° viewing angle against system design constraints to ensure adequate visibility from intended observer positions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566C product line, representing a standard 5 mm oval LED series manufactured by Cree LED. The Screen Master branding indicates a focus on reliable performance for industrial and commercial indicator applications. It serves as a discrete optoelectronic solution for circuit status indication.

Replacement Considerations

The C566C-RFE-CU0V0BB2 is listed as a parameter-equivalent alternative. Verify mechanical fit and electrical characteristics before substitution.
