C566C-RFS-CU0V0BB1

Overview

The C566C-RFS-CU0V0BB1 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 typical luminous intensity of 2200 mcd. The component operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.1 V, dissipating up to 130 mW. It features a tinted lens with clear transparency and an oval shape measuring 5.2 mm by 4.6 mm. The device supports a viewing angle of 70 degrees horizontally and 35 degrees vertically, functioning within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Features a tinted oval dome lens with clear transparency for directional light emission.
• Designed for through-hole radial mounting in standard 5 mm form factors.
• Provides high-intensity red illumination suitable for panel indicator applications.

Applications

• Panel indicators
• Machine status lights
• Control board signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CU0V0BB1 against official datasheets to confirm exact binning and optical characteristics. Confirm RoHS compliance status via manufacturer documentation before integration. Check for end-of-life notifications or product change notices that may affect long-term availability. Ensure supply chain sources provide authentic components with traceable manufacturing data.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5 mm oval footprint is required for red indication. Compare forward voltage and intensity requirements against circuit design limits. Consider the 70x35 degree viewing angle for visibility constraints. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 130 mW power rating and operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master C566C series, which offers various color options in a consistent 5 mm oval package. The series is widely used in industrial and commercial equipment requiring reliable visual feedback. Similar parts include other colors like amber or green within the same mechanical envelope.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include C566C-RFS-CU0V0BB2 or C566C-RFS-CT0W0BB1 from the same family. Verify electrical parameters and lens dimensions match before substitution. Cross-reference with generic 5 mm oval LEDs only if mechanical and electrical tolerances align perfectly.
