C566C-RFN-CU0V0BB1

Overview

The C566C-RFN-CU0V0BB1 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 provides 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 lens shape with tinted coloration and clear transparency for specific visual signaling requirements.
• Utilizes a radial through-hole mounting style compatible with standard T-1 3/4 (5 mm) PCB footprints.
• Delivers consistent red illumination optimized for indicator applications requiring defined beam angles.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm lens tint and optical characteristics. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the latest datasheet revision. Ensure the ordering quantity matches the factory packaging specifications provided in the official product guide. Cross-reference the part number with current availability lists as distribution status may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a red oval LED with specific 70x35 degree viewing characteristics is required. Ensure the circuit design supports the 2.1 V forward voltage drop at 20 mA. Verify that the mechanical envelope fits the designated panel cutout dimensions. Consider thermal management if operating near the maximum ambient temperature limit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master C566C series, which offers various colors and lens configurations in a standardized 5 mm oval form factor. The series is widely used in industrial and commercial equipment for reliable visual feedback. The specific model denotes a red emission variant within this established product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other C566C series variants with matching electrical parameters but different colors or lens tints. Verify pin compatibility and mechanical dimensions before substituting with generic 5 mm oval LEDs. Check for equivalent optical intensity if brightness levels are critical to the application design.
