C566D-BFF-CV14Q3S2

Overview

The C566D-BFF-CV14Q3S2 is a single-color blue LED from the Screen Master series, manufactured 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 luminous intensity of 6300 mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 3.4 V and a power rating of 140 mW at a test current of 20 mA. It utilizes through-hole radial mounting and offers a viewing angle of 70° x 30°. The lens is tinted blue with clear transparency.

Feature Summary

• High-intensity blue illumination suitable for high-visibility applications
• Taller lens design enhances reliability and provides physical protection
• Drop-in compatible with competing 70/30 oval LED form factors

Applications

• Video signage displays
• Icon and logo illumination
• General indicator lighting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CV14Q3S2 against official datasheets to confirm exact binning and packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints designed for T-1 3/4 oval packages. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity levels prior to assembly planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high luminous intensity in a standard oval footprint is required. The 470 nm wavelength provides distinct blue visibility. Consider the 3.4 V forward voltage drop for circuit design. The 70° x 30° viewing angle supports directional signaling needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566D family, which is engineered for video screens and signage. The Screen Master series emphasizes enhanced directionality for daytime visibility and reduced light trespass. The taller lens construction differentiates it from standard surface-mount alternatives by offering robust mechanical durability.

Replacement Considerations

C566D-BFF-CX14Q8S1 is a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same manufacturer lineup.
