C566C-RFS-CV0W0BB2

Overview

The C566C-RFS-CV0W0BB2 is a single-color amber LED from the Screen Master series by Cree LED. It utilizes a through-hole T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval package with tinted lens dimensions of 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm and a height of 7.8 mm. The component emits at a peak wavelength of 591 nm with an optical intensity of 2850 mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 2.1 V at a test current of 20 mA, resulting in a power rating of 130 mW. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +95°C and features a viewing angle of 70° x 35°.

Feature Summary

• Features a tinted oval dome lens for directional light emission
• Designed for high-brightness indicator applications
• Supports standard through-hole mounting configurations

Applications

• Panel status indicators
• Control board signaling
• Appliance front panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CV0W0BB2 against the latest manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact binning and lens specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the T-1 3/4 package. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to integration into the assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a distinct amber indication is required with moderate beam spread. The 591 nm wavelength provides clear visibility in ambient lighting conditions. Consider the 20 mA drive current and 2.1 V forward voltage for appropriate resistor selection in the driving circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566C family of 5-mm oval LEDs, specifically the Screen Master line optimized for visual clarity. It shares mechanical dimensions with other variants in the series but differs in optical output and color characteristics defined by its unique ordering code.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include C566C-AFF-CU0W0252 and C566C-AFF-CV0W0342. Verify electrical parameters and lens geometry before substitution.
