C566D-RFE-CV0X0BB1

Overview

The C566D-RFE-CV0X0BB1 is a single-color red LED from the Screen Master series by Cree LED. It utilizes a T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval through-hole package with dimensions of 5.2 mm length, 4.6 mm width, and 7.8 mm height. The component emits at a wavelength of 621 nm with a luminous intensity of 3200 mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward current of 20 mA, a forward voltage of 2.1 V, and a power rating of 130 mW. It features a tinted clear lens and a viewing angle of 70 degrees by 30 degrees.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-intensity red illumination within a compact oval form factor
• Engineered for stable performance across standard operating temperature ranges
• Designed for reliable visual indication in electronic assemblies

Applications

• Visual status indicators in consumer electronics
• Control panel signaling in industrial equipment
• Instrumentation display modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm lens transparency and color specifications against project requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the T-1 3/4 package. Confirm RoHS compliance status prior to final procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a distinct red indicator is required in space-constrained designs. The oval shape offers unique visibility angles compared to standard round LEDs. Consider the 2.1 V forward voltage drop for circuit design calculations.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Screen Master family of standard LEDs manufactured by Cree LED. The C566D series specifically focuses on through-hole technologies optimized for general-purpose indication applications requiring consistent color rendering and brightness.

Replacement Considerations

C566D-RFE-CV0X0BB2 serves as a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same product line.
