XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20F6 LED XLamp® XM-L2 Warm White 3750K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20F6 is a CreeLED XLamp® XM-L2 surface mount LED featuring warm white 3750K color temperature, designed for high-brightness lighting applications. This part operates at 700mA test current with 2.72V forward voltage and delivers 210lm at 85°C. The component is currently active in production and RoHS compliant. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, regional availability, or specific application requirements where alternative electrical or thermal characteristics are acceptable within system design parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20F6 is evaluated based on the following critical parameters:

Package Compatibility: Both substitute parts (PSL0102WBEB1 and PSL0102WBEC1) share the identical 2020 (5050 Metric) package footprint and 5.00mm x 5.00mm planar dimensions, enabling direct PCB layout compatibility.

Mounting Type: All parts are surface mount devices suitable for automated assembly processes.

Color Temperature Deviation: The substitute parts operate at 5000K (cool white) versus the main part's 3750K (warm white). This represents a shift toward higher color temperature and is a primary substitution constraint.

Electrical Characteristics: The substitute parts operate at reduced test current (120mA versus 700mA) and higher forward voltage (3.3V versus 2.72V), resulting in significantly lower luminous flux output (30–38lm versus 210lm).

Compliance Status: Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the main part's regulatory standing.

Product Status: The substitute parts are marked obsolete, whereas the main part remains active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Consideration - Product Status: The XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20F6 maintains active production status, making it the preferred choice for new designs. Both substitute parts are obsolete and should be considered only when the main part is unavailable.

Regulatory Compliance: All three parts satisfy RoHS and REACH requirements. The substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance with MSL 3 (168 Hours) moisture sensitivity rating, requiring appropriate handling during storage and assembly.

Electrical Performance Trade-offs: Substitution requires acceptance of significantly reduced luminous flux (30–38lm versus 210lm), higher forward voltage (3.3V versus 2.72V), and lower maximum current rating (200mA versus 3A). These characteristics make the substitute parts unsuitable for high-brightness applications requiring the original part's output specifications.

Color Temperature Shift: The 1250K shift from 3750K to 5000K represents a measurable change in color appearance. Applications requiring warm white illumination should not use these substitutes without system-level color compensation or acceptance of the cooler color rendering.

Mechanical Compatibility: The substitute parts feature significantly lower profile (1.00mm versus 3.15mm seated height), which may affect thermal management and mechanical assembly considerations in designs optimized for the original part's dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PSL0102WBEB1 or PSL0102WBEC1 be used as direct replacements for XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20F6?

A: Direct replacement is not recommended. While both substitute parts share the 2020 (5050 Metric) package footprint, they differ significantly in electrical performance (luminous flux, forward voltage, maximum current) and color temperature. Substitution requires system-level design review and acceptance of reduced brightness and cooler color rendering.

Q: What is the primary difference between PSL0102WBEB1 and PSL0102WBEC1?

A: Both parts operate at identical electrical parameters (3.3V, 120mA test current, 200mA maximum). The primary differences are luminous flux (38lm versus 30lm) and CRI (80 versus 90). PSL0102WBEC1 offers higher color rendering index at the cost of lower luminous output.

Q: Are the substitute parts suitable for high-brightness lighting applications?

A: No. The substitute parts deliver 30–38lm compared to the main part's 210lm. They are suitable only for indicator lighting, status displays, or low-brightness applications where reduced output is acceptable.

Q: What is the impact of the 2.15mm height difference between the main part and substitutes?

A: The substitute parts' lower profile (1.00mm versus 3.15mm) may affect thermal dissipation characteristics and mechanical assembly fit. PCB layout and thermal design must be re-evaluated if substitution is considered.

Q: Why are the substitute parts marked obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates these parts are no longer in active production. Inventory availability is limited and future supply cannot be guaranteed. The XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20F6 should be specified for new designs to ensure long-term component availability.

Q: Can the substitute parts operate at the main part's 700mA test current?

A: No. The substitute parts have a maximum current rating of 200mA, significantly below the main part's 700mA test current and 3A maximum rating. Operating at higher currents will damage the components.

Q: How does the color temperature difference affect application suitability?

A: The main part's 3750K warm white is suitable for residential and accent lighting. The substitute parts' 5000K cool white is suitable for task lighting and commercial applications. Color temperature selection depends on application requirements and cannot be changed through electrical adjustment.
