C566D-AFE-CV0X0251

Overview

The C566D-AFE-CV0X0251 is a discrete amber LED from Cree LED, designed for through-hole mounting in the T-1 3/4 (5mm) oval package. It emits light at a wavelength of 591 nm with a diffused lens finish. The component operates with a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.1 V. This radial leaded device provides reliable illumination suitable for indicator applications requiring specific color visibility.

Feature Summary

• Amber emission optimized for high visibility in bright sunlight or low-power outdoor environments
• Diffused lens design ensures uniform light distribution for indicator use
• Through-hole construction compatible with standard PCB assembly processes

Applications

• Transportation signage indicators
• Gas price sign displays
• Message board status lights

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix to confirm the specific binning and lens type. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for T-1 3/4 packages. Confirm supply chain authenticity through authorized distributors to guarantee performance consistency.

Selection Notes

Select this part when amber indication is required for outdoor or high-ambient-light conditions. The 591 nm wavelength offers distinct visibility compared to standard red LEDs. Consider the 2.1 V forward voltage drop for power budget calculations in series circuits.

Part Context

This component belongs to the C566D family of high-brightness LEDs from Cree LED. The family includes various colors and configurations optimized for signage and industrial applications. The C566D series is known for its durability and consistent color output across production batches.

Replacement Considerations

The C566D-AFF-CV0X0251 is a related variant within the same product line. Verify pinout and electrical characteristics before substitution. Ensure the replacement matches the required beam angle and luminous intensity specifications.
