Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the XMLAWT-00-0000-000PS30F8 is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Color temperature: 2850K (warm white)
Package / Case: 2020 (5050 metric) surface mount
Mounting type: Surface mount (SMD)
Physical dimensions: 5.00mm × 5.00mm footprint
Thermal resistance: 2.5°C/W
RoHS compliance status

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

Forward voltage tolerance (2.7V–3.3V acceptable range for warm white LEDs)
Test current operating point (120mA–700mA range)
Flux output at rated current (minimum 30 lm for warm white applications)
CRI ≥ 80 for color-critical applications

The XMLBWT-00-0000-000PS30F8 (XLamp® XM-L2) is a direct manufacturer upgrade with identical package, color temperature, and thermal characteristics. The PSL0102 series parts (PSL0102WBEB1, PSL0102WBEC1) are similar alternatives with the same 2020 package but operate at different current levels and color temperature (5000K cool white), requiring application-level verification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitute (Recommended for Warm White 2850K Applications):

XMLBWT-00-0000-000PS30F8 is the primary substitute. This part maintains active product status with CreeLED, identical package dimensions, matching color temperature (2850K), equivalent thermal characteristics (2.5°C/W), and improved efficiency (80 lm/W vs. 79 lm/W). Forward voltage is slightly lower (2.72V vs. 2.9V), which is within acceptable tolerance for warm white LED applications. Both parts are RoHS compliant and suitable for direct PCB layout replacement.

Alternative Substitutes (Application-Dependent):

PSL0102WBEB1 and PSL0102WBEC1 share the 2020 package footprint but differ significantly in operating characteristics. These ROHM parts operate at 120mA test current (vs. 700mA for the main part), deliver lower absolute flux (30–38 lm vs. 160 lm), and operate at 5000K (cool white vs. warm white). These alternatives are suitable only for applications where color temperature shift from 2850K to 5000K is acceptable and where lower current operation is compatible with circuit design. Both are obsolete and have higher moisture sensitivity (MSL 3 vs. MSL 1).

Compliance Considerations:

All listed parts are RoHS compliant. The XMLBWT-00-0000-000PS30F8 maintains superior moisture handling (MSL 1) compared to ROHM alternatives (MSL 3). For applications requiring unlimited shelf life and minimal moisture sensitivity, the XLamp® XM-L2 upgrade is preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XMLBWT-00-0000-000PS30F8 replace XMLAWT-00-0000-000PS30F8 directly on the PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical 2020 (5050 metric) surface mount packages with matching footprints, thermal resistance (2.5°C/W), and physical dimensions (5.00mm × 5.00mm, 3.15mm height). Forward voltage differs by 0.18V (2.9V vs. 2.72V), which is within normal tolerance for warm white LED circuit design. No PCB layout changes are required.

Q: Why are PSL0102 parts listed as substitutes if they operate at 5000K instead of 2850K?

A: PSL0102 parts share the identical 2020 package footprint and surface mount characteristics, making them mechanically compatible. However, the 5000K color temperature represents a significant shift from the 2850K warm white specification. These parts are listed as similar alternatives only for applications where color temperature flexibility exists or where warm white is not a critical requirement. Verify application compatibility before selection.

Q: What is the impact of different test currents (700mA vs. 120mA) on substitution?

A: Test current defines the operating point at which flux and efficiency are specified. The XMLAWT and XMLBWT parts are rated at 700mA, while PSL0102 parts are rated at 120mA. These represent different product categories within the 2020 package family. Direct substitution between different test current ratings requires circuit redesign to accommodate the new operating point and resulting flux output.

Q: Are there moisture sensitivity concerns when substituting with PSL0102 parts?

A: Yes. The XMLAWT-00-0000-000PS30F8 has MSL 1 (unlimited shelf life), while PSL0102 parts have MSL 3 (168-hour moisture sensitivity). This means PSL0102 parts require more stringent storage and handling procedures. For applications with extended storage or high-humidity environments, the XLamp® XM-L2 (XMLBWT) is preferred due to its superior moisture rating.

Q: What does "obsolete" product status mean for the main part?

A: Obsolete status indicates the XMLAWT-00-0000-000PS30F8 is no longer in active production by CreeLED. The XMLBWT-00-0000-000PS30F8 (XLamp® XM-L2) is the active replacement with equivalent specifications. For new designs or long-term production, the active part is recommended to ensure supply chain continuity.

Q: Can I use PSL0102WBEC1 instead of PSL0102WBEB1 for the same application?

A: Both PSL0102 variants use the 2020 package and 120mA test current. Key differences are flux output (30 lm vs. 38 lm) and CRI (90 vs. 80). PSL0102WBEC1 offers higher color rendering but lower brightness. Selection depends on whether color accuracy or luminous output is the priority for your application.
