XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20F8 LED XLamp® XM-L2 Warm White Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20F8 is a CreeLED XLamp® XM-L2 warm white LED (2850K) in 2020 (5050 Metric) surface mount package. This component is currently active in production and widely used in lighting 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, end-of-life transitions, or when design requirements permit alternative electrical and mechanical parameters within acceptable tolerances. The substitute parts listed below maintain compatibility with the 2020 (5050 Metric) package footprint and surface mount assembly process.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20F8 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Package Compatibility: All substitute parts must use the 2020 (5050 Metric) surface mount package with identical footprint dimensions (5.00mm x 5.00mm) to ensure PCB assembly compatibility without design modification.

Mounting Type: Surface mount technology is mandatory for all substitutes to maintain assembly process compatibility.

Electrical Operating Range: Substitute parts must operate within acceptable forward voltage and current ranges. The primary part operates at 2.72V / 700mA; substitutes with different voltage or current ratings require circuit design verification but remain mechanically compatible.

Color Temperature Consideration: While the primary part specifies warm white (2850K), the substitute parts listed operate at cool white (5000K). This represents a color temperature shift and requires application-level assessment. Both maintain white color classification and 80+ CRI ratings suitable for general lighting applications.

Regulatory Compliance: All substitute parts must maintain RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status to meet current environmental regulations.

The two substitute parts (PSL0102WBEB1 and PSL0102WBEC1) are both ROHM Semiconductor PSL0102 series components with identical electrical specifications but different CRI ratings and flux outputs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Status: The XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20F8 maintains active production status with 707 units in current inventory. This part should remain the first choice for new designs and ongoing production.

Substitute Part Status: Both PSL0102WBEB1 and PSL0102WBEC1 are classified as obsolete products. Selection of these substitutes is appropriate only when primary part availability is constrained and design requirements permit the electrical and mechanical parameter variations documented in the comparison table.

Regulatory Compliance: All three parts maintain current environmental compliance certifications (RoHS3 and REACH unaffected status), permitting use in regulated markets without additional qualification.

Inventory Availability: PSL0102WBEB1 (2638 units) and PSL0102WBEC1 (1627 units) represent significant available inventory despite obsolete status. These parts may be suitable for legacy product support or high-volume applications where supply continuity is critical.

Electrical Parameter Differences: The substitute parts operate at higher forward voltage (3.3V vs. 2.72V) and significantly lower test current (120mA vs. 700mA). Circuit designs must accommodate these differences through appropriate current-limiting resistor or driver circuit modifications.

Color Temperature Shift: The substitute parts operate at 5000K (cool white) compared to the primary part's 2850K (warm white). This represents a perceptible color temperature difference and requires application-level assessment for visual compatibility.

Physical Dimensions: The substitute parts have substantially lower seated height (1.00mm vs. 3.15mm), which may affect thermal management characteristics and PCB clearance considerations in existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PSL0102WBEB1 or PSL0102WBEC1 be used as direct drop-in replacements for XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20F8?

A: No. While all three parts share the 2020 (5050 Metric) package footprint and surface mount assembly compatibility, the substitute parts require circuit design modifications due to different forward voltage (3.3V vs. 2.72V) and test current (120mA vs. 700mA) specifications. Additionally, the color temperature shift from 2850K to 5000K must be evaluated for application requirements.

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

A: Both parts are ROHM PSL0102 series components with identical electrical ratings (3.3V, 120mA test current, 200mA maximum current). The key differences are: PSL0102WBEB1 delivers 38lm at 95 lm/W with 80 CRI, while PSL0102WBEC1 delivers 30lm at 75 lm/W with 90 CRI. The higher CRI rating (90 vs. 80) in PSL0102WBEC1 provides improved color rendering at the cost of reduced luminous output.

Q: Are the substitute parts suitable for new product designs?

A: No. Both substitute parts carry obsolete product status. New designs should specify the XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20F8 or evaluate current-generation alternatives from the same manufacturers. Substitute parts are appropriate only for legacy product support or when primary part availability is unavailable.

Q: How does the height difference (3.15mm vs. 1.00mm) affect PCB design?

A: The substitute parts are significantly lower profile. This affects thermal management characteristics, as lower height may reduce convective cooling. PCB clearance and component spacing considerations may differ. Thermal analysis should be performed if the substitute parts are used in existing designs with thermal constraints.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all three parts?

A: All three parts maintain RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental regulations for use in regulated markets. ECCN classification is EAR99 for all parts, and HTSUS code is 8541.41.0000.

Q: Can the color temperature difference (2850K vs. 5000K) be compensated in circuit design?

A: No. Color temperature is an inherent LED material property and cannot be modified through electrical circuit design. Application-level assessment is required to determine if the cooler color temperature of the substitute parts is acceptable for the intended lighting application.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT20F8 (primary): 707 units in stock. PSL0102WBEB1 (substitute): 2638 units in stock. PSL0102WBEC1 (substitute): 1627 units in stock. Inventory levels should be verified with the component supplier for current availability.
