C566D-BFF-CU14Q3S1

Overview

The C566D-BFF-CU14Q3S1 is a single-color blue LED from the Screen Master series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features a diffused oval dome lens with dimensions of 5.20mm x 4.60mm and a maximum height of 11.90mm. The component emits light at a primary wavelength of 470nm with a typical forward voltage of 3.4V at a test current of 20mA. It offers a luminous intensity of 2042mcd and a viewing angle of 70° x 30°. Packaged in bulk, it operates within a temperature range compatible with standard industrial environments.

Feature Summary

• Features a diffused oval dome lens to provide wide-angle visibility and uniform light distribution.
• Designed for high-brightness signage applications with enhanced reliability due to taller lens protection.
• Compatible with standard through-hole assembly processes for robust mechanical installation.

Applications

• Message boards and information signs
• Digital displays and scoreboards
• Advertising backlighting and roadway signs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Cree LED documentation to ensure correct lens tint, wavelength, and packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to procurement. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to account for any recent product change notifications affecting physical dimensions or electrical characteristics.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a blue indicator with high luminous intensity is required for through-hole PCB layouts. The oval shape and diffused lens are suitable for applications needing broad viewing angles. Ensure the forward voltage drop aligns with the driving circuit capabilities. Consider the bulk packaging format for high-volume assembly lines requiring manual or semi-automated placement.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566D family of high-brightness LEDs optimized for signage. The Screen Master series provides drop-in compatibility with competing oval LED formats. It serves as a specialized solution for transportation and retail signage where color blending and daytime visibility are critical performance factors.

Replacement Considerations

C566D-BFF-CU14Q3S2 and C566D-BFF-CU34Q3S1 are listed as parameter-equivalent alternatives. Verify that substitute parts match the exact lens transparency, wavelength tolerance, and mechanical footprint before integration into existing designs.
