C566C-RFN-CT0W0BB2

Overview

The C566C-RFN-CT0W0BB2 is a single-color red LED from the Screen Master family, manufactured by Cree LED. It features a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval lens with dimensions of 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm and a height of 7.8 mm. The component emits light at a wavelength of 621 nm with a typical forward voltage of 2.1 V at a forward current of 20 mA. It delivers an optical intensity of 2200 mcd and has a power rating of 130 mW. The viewing angle is specified as 70 degrees by 35 degrees. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Features a diffused oval lens designed for broad visibility in signage applications
• Utilizes a through-hole radial mounting style for standard PCB integration
• Optimized for high-brightness performance within the Screen Master product line

Applications

• Variable-message signs
• Passenger-information displays
• Public transit indicator panels

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against official Cree LED documentation before integration. Confirm that the specific suffix CT0W0BB2 matches project requirements for lens diffusion and binning. Check current lifecycle status as distribution data indicates potential discontinuation or limited availability. Ensure thermal management aligns with the 130 mW power rating and operating temperature limits during system design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a red oval LED with specific 70x35 degree viewing characteristics is required for large-format display systems. Compare against other Screen Master variants if different wavelengths or lens tints are needed. Consider the through-hole package constraints and ensure mechanical clearance for the 7.8 mm height. Validate electrical parameters against circuit design limits for forward voltage and current drive capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566C-RFE/RFS/RFN series of 5mm oval LEDs. These components are engineered specifically for high-visibility outdoor and indoor signage environments. The Screen Master family emphasizes consistent optical output and durability for critical information display applications where reliability and brightness are paramount.

Replacement Considerations
