Engineering Selection Recommendations
For 3500K Warm White Applications with 3.1V Forward Voltage:
SPMWH1228FD5WAUMSA (LM281B+ series, Active status) is the primary direct substitute. This part maintains identical electrical specifications (3.1V Vf, 150mA test current, 120° viewing angle) and color temperature (3500K) while offering improved luminous flux (58lm vs. 57lm) and efficiency (125 lm/W vs. 123 lm/W). Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain stability.
For 3000K Warm White Applications with 3.1V Forward Voltage:
SPMWH1228FD5WAV0SA, SPMWH1228FD5WAVKSA, or SPMWH1228FD5WAVMSA (LM281B+ series, Active status) provide parametric equivalence with identical electrical characteristics but warmer color temperature (3000K). These parts are suitable when color temperature adjustment is acceptable within system design parameters.
For 3500K Applications with Lower Forward Voltage (3.0V):
SPMWH3228FD5WAU0SC, SPMWH3228FD5WAUKSC, or SPMWH3228FD5WAUMSC (LM281BZ+ series, Active status) offer improved efficiency (127 lm/W) and reduced forward voltage (3.0V). These parts are suitable for applications where lower operating voltage is beneficial. All substitute parts maintain identical package dimensions, thermal resistance, RoHS compliance, and MSL rating.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can SPMWH1228FD5WAUMSA directly replace SPMWH1228FD5WAUMS2 in existing designs?
A: Yes. SPMWH1228FD5WAUMSA maintains identical mechanical compatibility (1113/2835 package, 3.50mm x 2.80mm x 0.75mm), electrical specifications (3.1V Vf, 150mA test current, 160mA max), and optical characteristics (3500K, 120° viewing angle, CRI 80). Both parts are RoHS compliant with 2A MSL rating and 25°C/W thermal resistance.
Q: What is the difference between LM281B and LM281B+ series?
A: The LM281B+ series represents an active product generation with improved luminous flux and efficiency specifications. SPMWH1228FD5WAUMSA (LM281B+) delivers 58lm at 125 lm/W compared to SPMWH1228FD5WAUMS2 (LM281B) at 57lm and 123 lm/W. All other parameters remain equivalent.
Q: Can I use SPMWH3228FD5WAU0SC (LM281BZ+, 3.0V) as a substitute for the original part?
A: SPMWH3228FD5WAU0SC is mechanically and optically compatible but operates at 3.0V forward voltage instead of 3.1V. This 0.1V reduction is within typical LED tolerance ranges and may be acceptable depending on circuit design. The part offers improved efficiency (127 lm/W) and maintains identical package dimensions and thermal characteristics.
Q: Are there color temperature alternatives available?
A: Yes. SPMWH1228FD5WAV0SA, SPMWH1228FD5WAVKSA, and SPMWH1228FD5WAVMSA provide 3000K color temperature (warmer) while maintaining identical electrical specifications (3.1V Vf, 150mA test current). These parts are suitable when color temperature adjustment is acceptable.
Q: What is the significance of "Not For New Designs" status?
A: This designation indicates that SPMWH1228FD5WAUMS2 has been superseded in Samsung's product portfolio. All listed substitute parts carry "Active" status, ensuring continued manufacturing support, supply availability, and compliance with current industry standards.
Q: Do all substitute parts have the same package and thermal characteristics?
A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical package specifications (1113/2835 metric, 3.50mm x 2.80mm x 0.75mm maximum height), thermal resistance (25°C/W), mounting type (surface mount), RoHS compliance, and MSL rating (2A, 4 weeks).
Q: Which substitute offers the best efficiency?
A: SPMWH3228FD5WAU0SC, SPMWH3228FD5WAUKSC, and SPMWH3228FD5WAUMSC (LM281BZ+ series) deliver 127 lm/W efficiency compared to 123-125 lm/W for LM281B and LM281B+ series. This 2-4 lm/W improvement is achieved through the 3.0V forward voltage characteristic.
