C566D-GFE-CY34Q8S2

Overview

The C566D-GFE-CY34Q8S2 is a single-color green LED from the Cree LED Screen Master series, designed for through-hole mounting in a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval package. It emits light at a wavelength of 527 nm with a clear lens transparency and tinted green lens color. The component operates at a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 3.4 V, with a power rating of 140 mW. It delivers an optical intensity of 6300 mcd and features a viewing angle of 70 degrees by 30 degrees. The physical dimensions are 5.2 mm in length, 4.6 mm in width, and 7.8 mm in height, suitable for industrial and commercial indicator applications within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Features a high-intensity green emission optimized for visibility in indicator applications
• Utilizes a durable oval dome lens design for consistent light distribution
• Supports standard through-hole assembly processes for reliable PCB integration

Applications

• Industrial control panel status indicators
• Commercial equipment operational signaling
• Automotive dashboard and instrument cluster lighting
• Consumer appliance status displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to ensure correct binning for luminous intensity and chromaticity coordinates. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to procurement. Check for any recent product change notifications that may affect packaging or material composition. Ensure compatibility with existing automated placement equipment specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high brightness green indication is required in a standard 5mm form factor. Consider the 6300 mcd output for applications needing strong visual feedback without excessive power consumption. Evaluate the 70° x 30° viewing angle against enclosure design constraints. Compare against other colors in the C566D series if multi-color signaling is needed for the same mechanical footprint.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566D family of single-color LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The family offers various color options including blue, green, red, and amber, all sharing similar mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics. These components are engineered for reliability in demanding environments, providing a standardized solution for discrete LED indicator needs across multiple industries.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other C566D variants with different color suffixes such as C566D-BFE-CY34Q4S2 for blue or C566D-RFE-CY34Q2S2 for red, provided the application does not strictly require green light. Cross-brand replacements must match the 5mm oval package, 20mA forward current, and similar forward voltage to ensure circuit compatibility.
