C566D-BFE-CU34Q4S2

Overview

The C566D-BFE-CU34Q4S2 is a single-color blue LED from the Screen Master series by Cree LED. It features a 470 nm peak wavelength and emits blue light with a tinted lens. The component utilizes a through-hole radial T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval package, measuring 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm. Electrical characteristics include a typical forward voltage of 3.4 V at a test current of 20 mA, with a power rating of 140 mW. Optical performance specifies a viewing angle of 70° x 30° and a luminous intensity of 2300 mcd. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Features a tinted oval dome lens for directional light emission
• Designed for through-hole mounting in standard 5 mm radial configurations
• Provides high-intensity blue illumination suitable for indicator applications

Applications

• Panel indicators
• Status signaling
• Instrumentation displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm optical binning and packaging type. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for T-1 3/4 packages. Confirm RoHS compliance status via manufacturer documentation before integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5 mm oval form factor is required for blue indication. Consider the 3.4 V forward voltage drop for circuit design. Verify that the 2300 mcd intensity meets visibility requirements for the intended enclosure or panel thickness.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Screen Master family of LEDs, which are engineered for high brightness and reliability. The C566D series specifically offers oval lens options to provide distinct visual profiles compared to standard round LEDs, aiding in user interface differentiation.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other C566D variants sharing the same electrical parameters but different lens tints or intensities. Verify mechanical dimensions match the target footprint if substituting with generic 5 mm oval LEDs.
