C566D-BFF-CV14Q4S1

Overview

The C566D-BFF-CV14Q4S1 is a single-color blue LED from the Screen Master series by Cree LED. It features a 470 nm wavelength and emits blue light with a tinted lens. The component utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval dome package designed for through-hole mounting. Electrical characteristics include a forward voltage of 3.4 V at a test current of 20 mA, with a power rating of 140 mW. The lens dimensions are 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm, and it offers a viewing angle of 70° x 30°. The device is RoHS compliant and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Features an oval dome lens design that provides enhanced physical protection to the LED die while improving overall reliability in demanding environments.
• Incorporates a tinted lens structure optimized for high brightness applications, ensuring clear visibility and effective color blending for signage purposes.
• Designed as a drop-in replacement for competing 70/30 oval LEDs, facilitating straightforward integration into existing PCB layouts without mechanical redesign.

Applications

• Digital message boards and information signs
• Transportation and roadway signage
• Gas price signs and advertising displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official datasheet to ensure correct binning and optical parameters. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to assembly. Check for any recent product change notices regarding packaging or material composition updates.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5mm oval form factor is required for through-hole signage applications. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the 3.4 V forward voltage drop at 20 mA. Consider the 70° x 30° viewing angle for optimal light distribution in direct-view displays.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566D family within the Screen Master line, which is engineered specifically for high-brightness signage. The family shares common mechanical footprints but varies in optical intensity and wavelength. This specific model targets blue illumination needs in commercial display systems.

Replacement Considerations

C566D-BFF-CU14Q3S1 and C566D-BFF-CU14Q3S2 are listed as parameter-equivalent alternatives. Verify electrical and optical specifications match before substitution.
