C566D-RFE-CV14QBB1

Overview

The C566D-RFE-CV14QBB1 is a single-color standard LED from the Screen Master series by Cree LED. It features a through-hole T-1 3/4 (5 mm) oval package with tinted clear lens dimensions of 5.2 mm x 4.6 mm. The component emits red light at a wavelength of 621 nm with a luminous intensity of 3200 mcd. Electrical characteristics include a forward current of 20 mA and a forward voltage of 2.1 V, resulting in a power rating of 130 mW. The viewing angle is specified as 70 degrees by 30 degrees.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-intensity red illumination suitable for visual indicators
• Features a tall oval lens design for enhanced reliability and protection
• Offers precise color output with defined wavelength specifications

Applications

• High-resolution video signage displays
• Icon and logo visualization in digital signs
• Daytime visibility applications requiring reduced light trespass

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official datasheets to confirm exact optical and electrical parameters. Ensure compatibility with existing through-hole mounting footprints. Confirm RoHS compliance status for your region. Check for any recent product change notices regarding packaging or material composition updates before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 5mm oval form factor is required for signage or indicator applications. Consider the 621 nm wavelength for specific red color requirements. Evaluate the 3200 mcd intensity against ambient lighting conditions. Ensure the 2.1 V forward voltage aligns with the driving circuit design constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the C566E/C566D family, which utilizes FusionBeam technology for improved color blending and directionality. The Screen Master series is designed for drop-in compatibility with competing 70/30 oval LEDs. These components are engineered for high-brightness applications where reliability and visual performance are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family may exist with different suffixes indicating variations in binning or packaging. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility before replacement. Cross-reference electrical parameters to ensure equivalent performance in the target application.
