C566C-BFS-CT0V0351

LED Indication - Discrete

Discrete LEDs are a type of lighting product that is typically used in a number of general manufacturing, medical and automotive applications. The C566C-BFS-CT0V0351 is an example of a discrete LED, and understanding its application fields and working principle is important for those who wish to use this type of device.

Applications

Discrete LEDs have a variety of applications, which makes them ideal for general use. They are commonly used as a visual indicator for electronic equipment, for example in computers, notebooks and servers. They are also used in medical equipment such as X-Ray machines, ultrasound machines or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines. Discrete LEDs can also be used as position markers in automotive applications, and they are found in reverse parking warning systems.

Working Principle

The C566C-BFS-CT0V0351 discrete LED works on the principle of electron-hole recombination. When electric current passes through the LED, electrons move from the n-type layer to the p-type layer, and the p-type and n-type materials create a space charge layer (SCL). When the electrons move to the SCL, energy is released as photons, which is visible as light. The colour of the light emitted by the LED is determined by the composition of the p- and n-type layers.

Features of the C566C-BFS-CT0V0351 Discrete LED

The C566C-BFS-CT0V0351 is a discreet green LED with a wide viewing angle of 140° and a high brightness of 250 mcd (milli candela). It has a typical forward voltage of 3.2 V and a forward current of 20 mA. It is available in a variety of lens types, including clear, diffused, circular polarized, and right angle. It is constructed of two complementary layers of silicon and gallium nitride, which provides a better thermal conductivity than other types of LEDs.

Conclusion

Discrete LEDs are an extremely useful type of device, and the C566C-BFS-CT0V0351 is an example of an excellent green LED. It has a wide viewing angle, a high brightness and a variety of lens types, making it ideal for many different types of applications.
