Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MLEAWT-A1-0000-0001E7 has one identified substitute part: MLEAWT-A1-R250-0001E7. This substitution is valid based on identical electrical and optical parameters across all critical specifications. Both parts share the same base product number (MLEAWT), series designation (XLamp® ML-E), and are manufactured by CreeLED, Inc.

The substitution criteria are based on the following key parameters that must remain constant:

• Color temperature: 3000K (2850K ~ 3250K range)
• Luminous flux @ 25°C: 38lm (35lm ~ 40lm range)
• Test current: 150mA
• Forward voltage: 3.2V (Typ)
• Color Rendering Index: 80
• Maximum current rating: 175mA
• Viewing angle: 120°
• Package type: 4-SMD, J-Lead Exposed Pad
• Physical dimensions: 4.60mm x 3.15mm
• Thermal resistance: 11°C/W
• Compliance certifications: RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The only difference between the main part and its substitute is the packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. This distinction affects only the delivery and handling method, not the component's electrical or optical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MLEAWT-A1-0000-0001E7 and MLEAWT-A1-R250-0001E7 are Active products from CreeLED, Inc., with identical electrical, optical, and thermal specifications. Both maintain RoHS Compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications requiring environmental compliance.

Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain logistics. The Tape & Reel format (main part) is optimized for high-volume automated assembly operations, while the Cut Tape format (substitute) accommodates lower-volume production runs or manual assembly processes. The identical 4-SMD, J-Lead Exposed Pad configuration ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility in PCB layouts designed for either packaging format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MLEAWT-A1-R250-0001E7 be used as a direct replacement for MLEAWT-A1-0000-0001E7 in production?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and optically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel). PCB footprints, solder reflow profiles, and electrical performance remain unchanged.

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

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on a reel, suitable for automated pick-and-place equipment in high-volume manufacturing. Cut Tape packaging provides the same components on shorter tape segments, typically used for lower-volume assembly or manual placement operations.

Q: Are the thermal and electrical characteristics identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical forward voltage (3.2V), test current (150mA), maximum current (175mA), thermal resistance (11°C/W), luminous flux (38lm at 25°C), and color temperature (3000K).

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both MLEAWT-A1-0000-0001E7 and MLEAWT-A1-R250-0001E7 are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, with identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (2A, 4 Weeks).

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same production batch?

A: Yes. Since the parts are electrically and optically identical, they can be used interchangeably in the same circuit design and PCB layout without any functional impact.
