XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT40E7 LED XLamp® XM-L2 Warm White 3000K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT40E7 is a CreeLED XLamp® XM-L2 warm white LED (3000K) in 2020 (5050 Metric) surface mount package. This part is currently active in production. Substitute parts may be required due to supply constraints, design revisions, or application-specific parameter requirements. The identified substitutes are ROHM Semiconductor PSL0102 series components, which share the same physical package and mounting characteristics but differ in color temperature, electrical performance, and product status.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT40E7 with PSL0102 series components is limited by the following constraints:

Compatible Parameters:

• Package / Case: 2020 (5050 Metric) — identical physical footprint
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount — compatible with same PCB assembly process
• Size / Dimension: 0.197" L x 0.197" W (5.00mm x 5.00mm) — identical
• RoHS and REACH compliance — both parts meet regulatory requirements

Non-Compatible Parameters:

• Color Temperature: XMLBWT operates at 3000K (warm white); PSL0102 operates at 5000K (cool white) — different color rendering
• Electrical Performance: XMLBWT rated at 700mA test current with 250lm output; PSL0102 rated at 120mA test current with 30–38lm output — significant luminous flux difference
• Voltage: XMLBWT Vf 2.72V; PSL0102 Vf 3.3V — different forward voltage requirements
• Efficiency: XMLBWT 123 lm/W; PSL0102 75–95 lm/W — lower efficiency
• Product Status: XMLBWT is Active; PSL0102 series is Obsolete — supply and support implications

The PSL0102 series substitutes are electrically and mechanically compatible only for applications where warm white color temperature (3000K) is not a critical requirement and where lower luminous output is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Consideration: Product Status

The XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT40E7 maintains Active status with CreeLED, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. Both PSL0102WBEB1 and PSL0102WBEC1 are classified as Obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited future supply.

Compliance and Regulatory:

All three parts meet RoHS and REACH compliance requirements. PSL0102 variants carry ROHS3 Compliant designation with Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 3 (168 Hours), requiring controlled storage and handling during assembly.

Electrical and Optical Differences:

The XMLBWT operates at significantly higher current (700mA test vs. 120mA) and delivers substantially greater luminous output (250lm vs. 30–38lm). Forward voltage differs by 0.58V (2.72V vs. 3.3V), requiring circuit redesign for direct substitution. Color temperature mismatch (3000K warm vs. 5000K cool) introduces color rendering differences unsuitable for applications requiring consistent warm white output.

Physical Compatibility:

Both PSL0102 variants are 0.039" (1.00mm) in seated height, compared to 0.124" (3.15mm) for the XMLBWT. This height difference may affect PCB layout, solder joint reliability, and thermal management in compact assemblies.

Recommendation:

For new designs or production continuity, the XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT40E7 is the preferred choice due to Active status and superior performance metrics. PSL0102 substitutes are suitable only for legacy applications where warm white color temperature is not required, lower luminous output is acceptable, and circuit modifications to accommodate higher forward voltage are feasible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PSL0102WBEB1 or PSL0102WBEC1 be used as direct drop-in replacements for XMLBWT-00-0000-000HT40E7?

A: No. While both parts share the 2020 (5050 Metric) package footprint, they are not direct drop-in replacements. The PSL0102 series requires different forward voltage (3.3V vs. 2.72V), operates at lower current (120mA vs. 700mA), and produces significantly lower luminous output (30–38lm vs. 250lm). Circuit redesign is necessary for proper operation.

Q: What is the impact of color temperature difference between 3000K and 5000K?

A: Color temperature directly affects perceived light color. The XMLBWT at 3000K produces warm white light suitable for residential and accent lighting. The PSL0102 at 5000K produces cool white light suitable for task and commercial lighting. Applications requiring consistent warm white rendering cannot use PSL0102 substitutes without color mismatch.

Q: Why are PSL0102 parts listed as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates ROHM Semiconductor has discontinued production of these parts. Existing inventory may be available from distributors, but future supply is not guaranteed. New designs should not rely on Obsolete components.

Q: Are there thermal management differences between these parts?

A: The XMLBWT specifies thermal resistance of 2.5°C/W. PSL0102 thermal resistance is not provided in the available data. The XMLBWT's lower seated height (0.124" vs. 0.039") may provide better thermal coupling to PCB copper in certain designs, though this depends on specific thermal management implementation.

Q: What is the significance of CRI (Color Rendering Index) differences?

A: The XMLBWT and PSL0102WBEB1 both specify CRI 80, indicating similar color rendering capability. PSL0102WBEC1 specifies CRI 90, indicating superior color rendering. Higher CRI values produce more natural color appearance but do not affect the fundamental 3000K vs. 5000K color temperature difference.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity requirements different between these parts?

A: The XMLBWT does not specify Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL). PSL0102 variants specify MSL 3 (168 Hours), requiring storage at controlled humidity and temperature. Assembly processes must account for this requirement to prevent moisture-induced failures.
