C566D-BFE-CV14Q3S2

Overview

The C566D-BFE-CV14Q3S2 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 delivers an optical intensity of 2300 mcd and has a power rating of 140 mW. The viewing angle is specified as 70 degrees by 30 degrees. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is supplied in an Ammo Pack.

Feature Summary

• Features a tinted clear oval lens designed for through-hole mounting applications.
• Provides high-intensity blue light emission optimized for visual indication tasks.
• Complies with RoHS3 standards and exhibits no REACH restrictions.

Applications

• Visual status indication in electronic equipment
• Panel indicator lights for control interfaces
• Discrete signaling components in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CV14Q3S2 against official datasheets to confirm lens transparency and intensity binning. Ensure the Ammo Pack packaging aligns with assembly requirements. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5mm oval form factor is required for through-hole PCB layouts. Consider the 70° x 30° viewing angle for directional visibility needs. Evaluate the 3.4 V forward voltage drop against available drive circuitry capabilities. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566D family, which utilizes Screen Master technology for enhanced brightness and consistency. It is distinct from surface-mount variants and other color options within the broader LED portfolio. The model specifically denotes blue emission characteristics and oval lens geometry.

Replacement Considerations

C566D-BFE-CV14Q3S1 is listed as a parameter-equivalent alternative. Verify electrical and mechanical compatibility before substitution.
