Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MLCAWT-A1-0000-000WA8 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the XLamp® ML-C product family. The substitution criteria are:

• Color and Color Temperature: White, Warm 3000K
• Luminous Flux Range: 25lm at 100mA test current (24lm – 27lm tolerance)
• Forward Voltage: 3.2V typical
• Test Current: 100mA
• Maximum Current Rating: 350mA
• Viewing Angle: 120°
• Package Configuration: 4-SMD, J-Lead Exposed Pad
• Physical Dimensions: 0.138" L × 0.124" W (4.60mm × 3.15mm)
• Height: 0.052" maximum seated height (1.33mm)
• Thermal Resistance: 13°C/W
• Compliance: RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected
• Moisture Sensitivity: 2A (4 Weeks)

Parts meeting all these parameters are considered parametric equivalents and direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MLCAWT-A1-0000-000WA8 and MLCAWT-A1-0000-000WE7 are active products from CreeLED with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both components are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial lighting applications. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability, lead time, or supply chain considerations, as they are parametric equivalents with no functional differentiation. Both components require standard MSL 2A handling procedures with a 4-week shelf life window.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MLCAWT-A1-0000-000WA8 and MLCAWT-A1-0000-000WE7 direct substitutes?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents within the XLamp® ML-C series, sharing identical electrical ratings (3.2V forward voltage, 100mA test current, 25lm output), optical properties (3000K CCT, 80 CRI, 120° viewing angle), and mechanical specifications (4-SMD J-Lead package, 4.60mm × 3.15mm footprint, 1.33mm height). They are interchangeable in circuit design and PCB layout.

Q: Can I use these LEDs interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. The identical package configuration (4-SMD, J-Lead Exposed Pad), footprint dimensions (4.60mm × 3.15mm), and thermal characteristics (13°C/W) ensure mechanical and thermal compatibility. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: What are the storage and handling requirements?

A: Both components are classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 2A with a 4-week shelf life. Store in a controlled environment with relative humidity below 60% and temperature between 16°C and 35°C. Bake components at 125°C for 24 hours if storage exceeds 4 weeks before assembly.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting the same regulatory standards for use in industrial, commercial, and consumer lighting applications.

Q: What is the thermal resistance specification used for?

A: The 13°C/W thermal resistance of the package indicates the temperature rise per watt of dissipated power. This specification is used in thermal modeling to ensure the LED junction temperature remains within safe operating limits under specified current and ambient conditions.
