C566D-BFE-CU34Q3S2

Overview

The C566D-BFE-CU34Q3S2 is a single-color blue LED from the Screen Master series by Cree LED. It features a 5mm oval through-hole radial package with a tinted, clear lens. The component emits at a primary wavelength of 470 nm and has a typical forward voltage of 3.4 V at a test current of 20 mA. Lens dimensions are 5.20 mm x 4.60 mm with a maximum height of 11.90 mm. It offers a viewing angle of 70° x 30° and a luminous intensity of 2300 mcd. Power rating is 140 mW.

Feature Summary

• Screen Master series design for high brightness applications
• Oval dome lens shape providing specific light distribution
• Through-hole mounting style for standard PCB integration

Applications

• General indicator lighting
• Instrument panel illumination
• Control board status indication

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix to confirm lens clarity and color specifications. Ensure the selected packaging type matches assembly requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status for regulatory adherence. Check lead times as availability may vary. Validate datasheet revisions before finalizing designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a blue 470 nm emission is required in a 5mm oval form factor. Consider the 3.4 V forward voltage drop for circuit design. Evaluate the 2300 mcd intensity against visibility needs. Compare the 70° x 30° viewing angle with optical requirements. Ensure mechanical fit within the 11.90 mm height constraint.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566D series of standard LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. It is part of the broader Screen Master product line designed for visual signaling. The component represents a traditional through-hole technology solution distinct from surface-mount alternatives.
