C566D-GFE-CX14Q8S1

Overview

The C566D-GFE-CX14Q8S1 is a single-color green LED from the Screen Master series by Cree LED. It features a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) through-hole package with an oval lens measuring 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm. The component emits light at a wavelength of 527 nm with a typical luminous intensity of 6300 mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward current of 20 mA, a forward voltage of 3.4 V, and a power rating of 140 mW. The lens is tinted with clear transparency.

Feature Summary

• Features a tinted oval dome lens for directional light emission
• Designed for through-hole mounting in standard 5 mm packages
• Optimized for high-intensity visual indication applications

Applications

• Visual status indicators in electronic equipment
• Panel-mounted signal lights
• Instrumentation display components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CX14Q8S1 against official Cree LED documentation to confirm lens tint and binning specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts requiring T-1 3/4 through-hole footprints. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer datasheet before integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a bright green indication is required with a specific oval form factor. The 527 nm wavelength provides distinct visibility compared to standard green LEDs. Consider the 3.4 V forward voltage drop when designing drive circuits to ensure adequate current limiting resistors are used for reliable operation at 20 mA.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566D family of Screen Master LEDs, which are engineered for high-brightness performance in compact packages. The C566D series utilizes advanced semiconductor materials to achieve superior luminous intensity within the traditional T-1 3/4 housing format, bridging legacy mechanical constraints with modern optical efficiency.

Replacement Considerations

Direct parameter-equivalent substitutes within the same family may include variations such as C566D-GFE-CY14Q8S2 or C566D-GFF-CX14Q8S1. Verify that alternative part numbers match the exact lens shape, tint color, and electrical parameters before substitution.
