Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The XMLBWT-02-0000-000PS50E8 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• Color temperature and CRI: Both parts deliver 2700K warm white with 85 CRI
• Package and mounting: Identical 2020 (5050 Metric) surface mount configuration
• Mechanical dimensions: Matching 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint and 3.15mm maximum seated height
• Thermal characteristics: Identical 2.5°C/W thermal resistance
• Electrical operating range: Both support 700mA test current and 3A maximum current
• Compliance: Both RoHS Compliant with REACH Unaffected status

The substitute represents an evolution within the XLamp® product line (XM-L2 generation) while maintaining full mechanical and thermal compatibility with the original XM-L design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XMLBWT-02-0000-000PS50E8 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete XMLAWT-02-0000-000PS50E8. The substitute maintains Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts carry identical RoHS Compliance and REACH Unaffected certifications, satisfying regulatory requirements without modification to existing designs.

The XM-L2 generation demonstrates improved efficiency (89 lm/W versus 87 lm/W) and reduced forward voltage (2.72V versus 2.9V), resulting in lower power dissipation. These characteristics provide measurable benefits in thermal management and system efficiency while preserving the identical mechanical footprint, thermal resistance, and optical performance required for direct substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can XMLBWT-02-0000-000PS50E8 be used as a direct replacement for XMLAWT-02-0000-000PS50E8 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical 2020 (5050 Metric) package dimensions, 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint, and 3.15mm maximum seated height. PCB layouts and solder reflow profiles require no modification.

Q: What are the electrical differences between these parts?

A: The substitute exhibits lower forward voltage (2.72V versus 2.9V) and higher luminous efficacy (89 lm/W versus 87 lm/W). Both operate at identical test current (700mA) and maximum current (3A). Circuit designs must accommodate the reduced voltage drop, which typically improves overall system efficiency.

Q: Are the optical characteristics identical?

A: Yes. Both parts deliver 177lm at 700mA test current, maintain 2700K color temperature, and provide 85 CRI. Viewing angle is identical at 125°.

Q: What is the thermal compatibility?

A: Thermal resistance is identical at 2.5°C/W for both parts. Thermal management designs require no revision.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The main part (XMLAWT) is listed without specified packaging, while the substitute (XMLBWT) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both are surface mount components in identical physical packages.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, with matching ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.41.0000) classifications.
