C566C-RFS-CV0W0BB1

Overview

The C566C-RFS-CV0W0BB1 is a single-color amber LED from the Cree Screen Master series, designed for through-hole mounting in a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval package. It emits light at a wavelength of 591 nm with a typical luminous intensity of 2500 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 provides a viewing angle of 70 degrees by 35 degrees. The device functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Features an oval dome lens shape with tinted coloration for specific visual signaling applications.
• Utilizes a standard 5 mm radial lead configuration for easy insertion into printed circuit boards.
• Provides high luminous intensity output suitable for panel indicators and status displays.

Applications

• Panel indicator lights for electronic equipment
• Status indication in control systems
• Visual signaling in industrial machinery

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix CV0W0BB1 against official datasheets to confirm amber color and specific binning requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the T-1 3/4 package. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer documentation before integration. Check for any obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes directly from Cree LED sources.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a distinct amber visual signal is required in a standard 5 mm form factor. Consider the 70x35 degree viewing angle for visibility constraints. Evaluate the 20 mA drive current against available power supplies. Compare thermal performance within the specified operating temperature range against environmental conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cree Screen Master family of 5-mm oval LEDs, known for consistent optical performance and reliability. The C566C series offers various color options and lens configurations to meet diverse industrial and commercial lighting needs. It represents a standard solution for discrete LED applications requiring robust through-hole technology.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other C566C-RFS variants for different colors or intensities if specifications change. Verify pinout and mechanical dimensions match exactly before substituting with generic equivalents. Consult Cree LED documentation for approved alternate part numbers within the same product line.
