C566C-RFS-CU0V0BB2

Overview

The C566C-RFS-CU0V0BB2 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 peak wavelength of 621 nm with a forward voltage of 2.1 V and a rated forward current of 20 mA. The component features a tinted lens with clear transparency, measuring 5.2 mm by 4.6 mm, and provides an optical intensity of 2200 mcd. It operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C and has a power rating of 130 mW.

Feature Summary

• Features a tinted oval dome lens design for directional light emission.
• Utilizes a standard 5 mm T-1 3/4 through-hole package for easy integration.
• Delivers high optical intensity suitable for indicator applications.

Applications

• Panel indicators
• Status signaling
• Instrumentation displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct wavelength and binning specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors prior to ordering. Cross-reference the part number with the latest product change notifications to avoid obsolete variants.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a red oval LED with moderate viewing angles is required. Ensure the circuit design supports the 2.1 V forward voltage drop at 20 mA. Consider the physical dimensions of the 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm lens for panel cutout requirements. Verify thermal management capabilities for the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master C566C series, which specializes in 5 mm oval LEDs. The series offers various color options and lens configurations tailored for visual indication. The RFS suffix typically denotes specific red wavelength and lens tint characteristics within this standardized form factor.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Cree LED cross-reference guide for verified substitutes. Generic replacements may differ in luminous intensity or spectral distribution. Ensure any alternative maintains the same T-1 3/4 footprint and electrical parameters.
