XMLAWT-00-0000-000LS60E8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The XMLAWT-00-0000-000LS60E8 is a CreeLED XLamp® XM-L warm white LED (2700K) in 2020 (5050 Metric) surface mount package. This part is classified as Obsolete, making identification of compatible substitutes essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The XM-L series represents an earlier generation of high-brightness LEDs; equivalent parts from the XM-L2 series provide direct functional replacement with improved performance characteristics while maintaining identical mechanical and thermal specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the XMLAWT-00-0000-000LS60E8 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Color and Correlated Color Temperature (CCT): Both main and substitute parts must be White, Warm 2700K to maintain identical color output
• Package and Mounting: Both must use 2020 (5050 Metric) surface mount package for PCB compatibility
• Thermal Characteristics: Thermal resistance of 2.5°C/W must be maintained for thermal management equivalence
• Viewing Angle: 125° viewing angle must be preserved for optical performance
• CRI: Color Rendering Index of 80 (Typ) ensures color fidelity consistency
• Current Rating: Test current of 700mA with maximum current of 3A defines electrical operating point

The XMLBWT-00-0000-000LS60E8 (XLamp® XM-L2 series) meets all substitution criteria. The XM-L2 represents the direct successor generation from CreeLED, maintaining identical mechanical, thermal, and optical specifications while offering improved luminous efficacy.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XMLBWT-00-0000-000LS60E8 is the primary substitute for the obsolete XMLAWT-00-0000-000LS60E8. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability compared to the Obsolete main part.

Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS Compliance and REACH Unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for new designs and production runs.

Electrical Compatibility: Forward voltage differs by 0.18V (2.9V vs. 2.72V at 700mA test current). This variance is within typical LED tolerance ranges and does not require circuit redesign for constant-current driver applications. Maximum current rating remains identical at 3A.

Optical and Thermal Equivalence: Identical color temperature (2700K), CRI (80 Typ), viewing angle (125°), and thermal resistance (2.5°C/W) ensure direct functional replacement. The XM-L2 generation delivers improved luminous efficacy (96 lm/W vs. 94 lm/W), providing enhanced performance without design modification.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical package dimensions (2020/5050 Metric), height (3.15mm max), and surface mount configuration ensure PCB-level compatibility without layout changes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XMLBWT-00-0000-000LS60E8 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the XMLAWT-00-0000-000LS60E8?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical package geometry (2020/5050 Metric), mounting type (surface mount), and thermal characteristics (2.5°C/W). PCB footprints and thermal management designs require no modification. The forward voltage difference (0.18V) is accommodated by constant-current LED drivers used in standard applications.

Q: What is the significance of the forward voltage difference between these parts?

A: The XMLBWT operates at 2.72V versus 2.9V for the XMLAWT at 700mA test current. In constant-current driver circuits (standard for LED applications), this difference does not affect circuit operation or performance. Voltage-regulated designs should verify driver compliance with the lower forward voltage specification.

Q: Are there differences in color output between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are specified as White, Warm 2700K with CRI of 80 (Typ). Color output and rendering characteristics are identical.

Q: What packaging formats are available for the substitute part?

A: The XMLBWT-00-0000-000LS60E8 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, whereas the obsolete XMLAWT was available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Standard reel quantities and handling procedures apply to the substitute part.

Q: Why is the main part classified as Obsolete?

A: The XMLAWT represents the XM-L generation LED. CreeLED has transitioned production to the XM-L2 series, which offers improved performance and maintains full backward compatibility. The XM-L2 is the current-generation equivalent.

Q: Are there additional substitute options beyond the XMLBWT-00-0000-000LS60E8?

A: The XMLBWT-00-0000-000LS60E8 is the primary CreeLED equivalent. Secondary alternatives from other manufacturers (PSL0102WBEC1, PSL0102WBEB1) exist but require independent verification of electrical, optical, and thermal compatibility for specific applications.
