Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ASMD-FWG3-NPTH6 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Forward voltage (3.02V), test current (60mA), maximum current (90mA), and luminous flux output (25lm at 25°C) remain constant across all qualified substitutes.

Optical Compatibility: All substitutes maintain identical viewing angle (120°), CRI (80), and lumens per watt efficiency (138 lm/W).

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (1206 / 3014 Metric), mounting type (Surface Mount), physical dimensions (0.118" L x 0.055" W / 3.00mm x 1.40mm), and seated height (0.035" / 0.90mm) are identical.

Thermal Compatibility: Thermal resistance (28°C/W) is unchanged.

Compliance & Handling: All substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and MSL 3 (168 Hours) moisture sensitivity.

Variable Parameter: Color temperature (CCT) varies within the cool white spectrum (5000K to 6500K), reflecting different phosphor formulations from the same manufacturer base product series (ASMD-FWG3).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certification, ensuring regulatory compliance across applications. Selection between ASMD-FWG3-NPTH6, ASMD-FWG3-NPTE6, and ASMD-FWG3-NPTF6 is determined by color temperature requirement and packaging format.

ASMD-FWG3-NPTH6 (6500K, Tape & Reel) is specified for applications requiring the highest color temperature within the cool white spectrum, suitable for high-volume production with standard reel packaging.

ASMD-FWG3-NPTE6 (5000K, Cut Tape) provides neutral cool white performance at lower color temperature, packaged in Cut Tape format for lower-volume or mixed-component assembly operations.

ASMD-FWG3-NPTF6 (5700K, Tape & Reel) offers intermediate color temperature between the primary and secondary options, maintaining standard reel packaging for production environments.

All parts share identical electrical performance, optical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, thermal properties, and compliance certifications. Substitution is electrically and mechanically transparent to circuit design and PCB layout.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ASMD-FWG3-NPTE6 or ASMD-FWG3-NPTF6 be used as direct replacements for ASMD-FWG3-NPTH6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. All three parts are electrically and mechanically identical. Forward voltage, test current, maximum current, luminous flux, viewing angle, CRI, efficiency, package dimensions, and thermal characteristics are unchanged. The only difference is color temperature (CCT), which varies from 5000K to 6500K within the cool white spectrum.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape formats?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is standard for high-volume automated assembly lines using pick-and-place equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging is used for lower-volume production, manual assembly, or mixed-component kits. The electrical and mechanical specifications of the component itself are identical; packaging format affects procurement and assembly logistics only.

Q: Are there any thermal or reliability differences between these substitutes?

A: No. All three parts maintain identical thermal resistance (28°C/W), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3, 168 Hours), and compliance certifications. Thermal performance and long-term reliability are equivalent.

Q: How does color temperature variation affect circuit performance?

A: Color temperature (CCT) is an optical property that does not affect electrical circuit behavior. Forward voltage, current draw, power consumption, and signal characteristics remain constant across all three parts. Color temperature selection is determined by application requirements for light appearance (warmer at 5000K, cooler at 6500K) and is independent of circuit design.

Q: Can these parts be mixed within a single assembly?

A: Electrically and mechanically, yes. However, mixing different color temperatures in a single visual application may produce visible color inconsistency. For applications where uniform light appearance is required, maintain consistent CCT specification across all components.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected. Moisture sensitivity level is MSL 3 (168 Hours) for all variants. No additional certifications or compliance differences exist between substitutes.
