C566C-RFN-CV0W0BB2

Overview

The C566C-RFN-CV0W0BB2 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 peak 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° x 35°. The device functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Features an oval dome lens shape with a tinted appearance and clear transparency for specific visual indication requirements.
• Utilizes a radial through-hole mounting style compatible with standard T-1 3/4 (5 mm) PCB layouts.

Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Instrumentation displays
• Control interface lighting

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against official datasheets to ensure correct wavelength and binning specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity levels prior to assembly. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers with distributor listings to validate authenticity and current production status.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a red oval indicator with moderate brightness is required for panel applications. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 2.1 V forward voltage drop at 20 mA. Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified -40°C to +85°C thermal limits for reliable performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master C566C series, which offers various color and lens options in a standardized 5 mm form factor. The series is widely used in industrial and commercial electronics for visual signaling. The specific model provides a balance of optical intensity and physical dimensions suitable for dense panel layouts.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for equivalent parts within the C566C series or other manufacturers offering identical T-1 3/4 oval red LEDs. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before replacing.
