XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20E7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20E7 is a CreeLED XLamp® XM-L2 warm white LED (3000K) in 2020 (5050 Metric) surface mount package. This component is currently active in production and widely used in general illumination applications requiring warm color temperature output. The part operates at 700mA test current with 2.72V forward voltage and delivers 210lm at 85°C operating conditions.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary component experiences supply constraints, inventory limitations, or when design requirements permit alternative color temperature specifications. The identified substitutes are ROHM Semiconductor PSL0102 series components, which share identical mechanical packaging but operate at different electrical parameters and color temperature (5000K cool white).

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20E7 is limited to components that maintain mechanical and thermal compatibility while accepting variations in electrical performance and color temperature. The allowed substitution parameters are:

• Package / Case: Must be 2020 (5050 Metric) surface mount
• Mounting Type: Must be surface mount
• Physical Dimensions: Must be 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint
• Height Constraint: Must fit within PCB assembly height requirements

The identified substitutes (PSL0102WBEB1 and PSL0102WBEC1) meet these mechanical requirements. However, they introduce the following differences that must be evaluated for application suitability:

• Color Temperature: Shift from 3000K (warm white) to 5000K (cool white)
• Forward Voltage: Increase from 2.72V to 3.3V
• Test Current: Reduction from 700mA to 120mA
• Luminous Flux: Significant reduction in output (38lm or 30lm vs. 210lm)
• Efficiency: Lower lumens/watt performance (75–95 lm/W vs. 105 lm/W)
• CRI: PSL0102WBEC1 offers higher CRI (90 vs. 80)
• Product Status: Both substitutes are obsolete

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20E7 is the primary component choice due to its active product status and established supply chain. Both PSL0102 variants are obsolete and should be considered only when the primary part is unavailable.

PSL0102WBEB1 is suitable for applications where:

• Cool white color temperature (5000K) is acceptable or preferred
• Lower luminous output (38lm) meets application requirements
• Lower operating current (120mA) aligns with circuit design
• Higher forward voltage (3.3V) can be accommodated in power supply design
• RoHS3 compliance is required

PSL0102WBEC1 is suitable for applications where:

• Cool white color temperature (5000K) is acceptable or preferred
• Higher color rendering index (CRI 90) is required
• Lower luminous output (30lm) meets application requirements
• Lower operating current (120mA) aligns with circuit design
• Higher forward voltage (3.3V) can be accommodated in power supply design
• RoHS3 compliance is required

Both substitutes present significant performance trade-offs: reduced luminous flux, lower maximum current rating, and higher forward voltage. Circuit redesign may be necessary to accommodate these electrical differences. The mechanical compatibility (identical 2020 package footprint) permits PCB-level substitution without layout changes, though the reduced height (1.00mm vs. 3.15mm) may affect thermal management characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PSL0102WBEB1 or PSL0102WBEC1 be used as direct drop-in replacements for XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20E7?

A: Mechanical compatibility exists due to identical 2020 (5050 Metric) package footprints. However, electrical redesign is required. The substitutes operate at 3.3V forward voltage (vs. 2.72V), 120mA test current (vs. 700mA), and deliver significantly lower luminous output (38lm or 30lm vs. 210lm). Power supply and current-limiting circuits must be recalculated.

Q: What is the primary limitation of using PSL0102 series as substitutes?

A: Luminous flux output is substantially reduced (38lm or 30lm compared to 210lm), representing an 82–86% decrease in light output. This makes the PSL0102 series unsuitable for applications requiring the full brightness specification of the XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20E7.

Q: Does the color temperature difference (3000K vs. 5000K) affect mechanical compatibility?

A: No. Color temperature is a photometric property and does not affect mechanical, thermal, or package compatibility. However, it affects application suitability. Warm white (3000K) and cool white (5000K) produce visually different lighting characteristics and may not be interchangeable in color-critical applications.

Q: Are both PSL0102 variants equally suitable as substitutes?

A: PSL0102WBEC1 offers higher color rendering index (CRI 90 vs. 80), making it preferable for applications where color accuracy is important. PSL0102WBEB1 provides slightly higher luminous output (38lm vs. 30lm). Both are obsolete products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications except for CRI and flux output.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20E7 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Both PSL0102 variants are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry MSL 3 (168 Hours) moisture sensitivity rating. All three parts are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Why are the PSL0102 substitutes listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates these products are no longer in active production. Inventory availability may be limited. The XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20E7 remains the recommended choice for new designs due to its active product status and continued manufacturer support.
