Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the XMLAWT-00-0000-000HS60Z8 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color Temperature (CCT): 2700K warm white
• Package / Case: 2020 (5050 Metric) surface mount
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm × 5.00mm footprint, 3.15mm maximum height
• Electrical Compatibility: Forward voltage range, current rating, and thermal characteristics
• Compliance: RoHS and REACH status

The XMLBWT-00-0000-000HS60Z8 (XLamp® XM-L2) is a direct manufacturer equivalent from CreeLED, maintaining identical package, color temperature, and mechanical specifications while offering improved efficiency and Active product status. The PSL0102 series parts (PSL0102WBEB1 and PSL0102WBEC1) from ROHM Semiconductor share the same 2020 package and surface mount configuration but operate at different electrical parameters (lower current, higher forward voltage) and different color temperature (5000K cool white), making them suitable only for applications where color temperature flexibility is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: XMLBWT-00-0000-000HS60Z8

The XMLBWT-00-0000-000HS60Z8 is the recommended direct substitute. It maintains identical package dimensions, color temperature (2700K), viewing angle (125°), and thermal characteristics (2.5°C/W). The XM-L2 generation offers improved luminous efficiency (96 lm/W vs. 94 lm/W) and lower forward voltage (2.72V vs. 2.9V), reducing power dissipation. Critically, this part carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. Both parts are RoHS Compliant and suitable for equivalent circuit implementations.

Alternative Substitutes: PSL0102WBEB1 and PSL0102WBEC1

The PSL0102 series from ROHM Semiconductor shares the 2020 package footprint and surface mount configuration. However, these parts operate at significantly different electrical parameters: 120mA test current (vs. 700mA), 3.3V forward voltage (vs. 2.9V), and 200mA maximum current (vs. 3A). Additionally, the PSL0102 series operates at 5000K (cool white) rather than 2700K (warm white), representing a different color temperature. These parts are suitable only for applications where the lower current operation, higher forward voltage, and cool white color temperature are acceptable. Both PSL0102 variants are Obsolete and carry MSL 3 (168 Hours) moisture sensitivity, requiring controlled storage conditions.

Compliance Considerations

All substitute parts maintain RoHS and REACH compliance. The XMLBWT-00-0000-000HS60Z8 is the only Active product among the options, providing the most reliable long-term sourcing path.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XMLBWT-00-0000-000HS60Z8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the XMLAWT-00-0000-000HS60Z8?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical package dimensions (2020 / 5050 Metric), color temperature (2700K), viewing angle (125°), and thermal resistance (2.5°C/W). The XM-L2 variant offers improved efficiency and lower forward voltage, making it electrically compatible with existing circuit designs. No PCB modifications are required.

Q: Why are the PSL0102 parts listed as substitutes if they operate at different current and voltage levels?

A: The PSL0102 series shares the same 2020 surface mount package and footprint, allowing physical compatibility on the PCB. However, electrical compatibility requires circuit redesign due to different forward voltage (3.3V vs. 2.9V) and test current (120mA vs. 700mA). These parts are suitable only for applications where the lower current operation and different color temperature (5000K cool white) are acceptable.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) difference?

A: The XMLAWT-00-0000-000HS60Z8 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), meaning it has no moisture sensitivity restrictions and can be stored indefinitely without special precautions. The PSL0102 series carries MSL 3 (168 Hours), requiring controlled storage at specified temperature and humidity levels. The XMLBWT-00-0000-000HS60Z8 does not specify MSL but, as an XM-L2 variant, typically follows similar handling to the original XM-L series.

Q: Are there any thermal performance differences between the main part and the XMLBWT substitute?

A: Both the XMLAWT-00-0000-000HS60Z8 and XMLBWT-00-0000-000HS60Z8 specify identical thermal resistance (2.5°C/W). The XM-L2 variant achieves higher efficiency (96 lm/W vs. 94 lm/W) at the same test current (700mA), resulting in lower absolute power dissipation and potentially improved thermal performance in practical applications.

Q: What is the impact of the 2.72V vs. 2.9V forward voltage difference?

A: The XMLBWT-00-0000-000HS60Z8 operates at 2.72V (vs. 2.9V for the original), reducing forward voltage drop by approximately 0.18V. This results in lower power consumption per LED and reduced heat generation. Existing current-limiting circuits will continue to function correctly, though power supply designs may benefit from the reduced voltage requirement.

Q: Can the PSL0102WBEC1 be used instead of PSL0102WBEB1?

A: Both PSL0102 variants share identical package, electrical ratings (3.3V, 120mA test current, 200mA max), and color temperature (5000K). The primary difference is CRI: PSL0102WBEC1 offers CRI 90 (vs. CRI 80 for PSL0102WBEB1) and lower luminous efficiency (75 lm/W vs. 95 lm/W). Selection depends on application requirements for color rendering quality versus luminous output.
