C566D-BFE-CU14Q4S2

Overview

The C566D-BFE-CU14Q4S2 is a single-color blue LED from the Screen Master series by Cree LED. It features a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval lens with dimensions of 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm and a height of 7.8 mm. The component emits light at a wavelength of 470 nm with a typical forward voltage of 3.4 V at a test current of 20 mA. It offers a power rating of 140 mW and a luminous intensity of 2300 mcd. The viewing angle is specified as 70 degrees by 30 degrees, and it operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• Features an oval dome lens design for directional light emission
• Supports through-hole mounting for standard PCB integration
• Complies with RoHS directives for environmental safety

Applications

• Panel indicator lights
• Instrumentation displays
• General-purpose visual signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against official datasheets to ensure correct binning and optical characteristics. Confirm package type availability as distribution listings may vary between bulk and ammo pack formats. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers directly to avoid substitution errors with similar Series C566 variants.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5 mm oval form factor is required for space-constrained panel applications. Ensure circuit design accommodates the 3.4 V forward voltage drop at 20 mA operating current. Verify that the 70° x 30° viewing angle aligns with the intended optical coverage requirements for the specific assembly.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cree LED Screen Master series, which specializes in high-intensity single-color LEDs. The Series C566 family utilizes a standardized T-1 3/4 package footprint, allowing for consistent mechanical design across various color options including red, green, and blue configurations within the same product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include C566D-BFE-CU14Q3S1 and C566D-BFE-CU34Q4S1. Verify luminous intensity binning differences before replacement to maintain consistent brightness levels in the final assembly.
