XMLBWT-00-0000-000PS50E7 LED XLamp® XM-L2 Warm White 3000K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The XMLBWT-00-0000-000PS50E7 is a CreeLED XLamp® XM-L2 series surface mount LED featuring warm white 3000K color temperature in a 2020 (5050 metric) package. This component is currently in active product status and widely stocked. Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design requirements permit operation within alternative electrical and thermal parameters while maintaining the same physical footprint and mounting compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the XMLBWT-00-0000-000PS50E7 is constrained by the following critical parameters:

Physical Compatibility Requirements:

• Package / Case: 2020 (5050 Metric) — must match exactly for PCB footprint compatibility
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount — required for assembly process compatibility
• Size / Dimension: 0.197" L x 0.197" W (5.00mm x 5.00mm) — must be identical

Electrical Operating Parameters:

• Voltage - Forward (Vf): Substitute parts must operate within the circuit's voltage tolerance
• Current - Test and Current - Max: Substitute parts must be compatible with the circuit's current supply capability
• Thermal Resistance of Package: Affects heat dissipation performance in the application

Optical and Performance Parameters:

• Color / CCT: Warm white 3000K is the primary specification; cool white alternatives (5000K) represent a different color temperature class and are listed as available substitutes only when color temperature variation is acceptable
• Flux output and Lumens/Watt: Determine brightness performance; variations affect application suitability
• CRI (Color Rendering Index): Affects color accuracy; lower CRI values may be acceptable depending on application requirements
• Viewing Angle: 125° is the specified angle; substitute parts with unspecified viewing angles require verification against application requirements

Compliance and Regulatory:

• RoHS Status and REACH Status: Must maintain equivalent compliance levels

The substitute parts listed below share the identical 2020 (5050 Metric) package and surface mount mounting type. However, they operate at different color temperatures (5000K cool white vs. 3000K warm white), different forward voltages, and different current ratings. These substitutes are valid only when the application permits operation outside the original warm white 3000K specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Consideration: Product Status

The XMLBWT-00-0000-000PS50E7 maintains active product status with 745 units in current stock. Both substitute parts (PSL0102WBEB1 and PSL0102WBEC1) are classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. Selection of substitute parts should occur only when the primary part becomes unavailable.

Electrical Compatibility Assessment

The substitute parts operate at significantly different electrical parameters:

• Forward voltage increases from 2.72V to 3.3V, requiring circuit redesign to accommodate higher voltage drop
• Test current decreases from 700mA to 120mA, representing a 6-fold reduction in operating current
• Maximum current rating decreases from 3A to 200mA, limiting power handling capability

These electrical differences necessitate complete circuit re-evaluation and are not transparent substitutions.

Optical and Color Temperature Differences

The substitute parts operate at 5000K (cool white) versus the original 3000K (warm white) specification. This represents a fundamental change in color temperature class and is suitable only for applications where color temperature variation is explicitly permitted by design requirements.

Compliance Status

Both substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, equivalent to the primary part's RoHS and REACH compliance levels.

Physical Package Considerations

While all three parts share the identical 2020 (5050 Metric) footprint, the substitute parts have significantly lower seated height (0.039" vs. 0.124"), which may affect clearance in applications with tight vertical constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PSL0102WBEB1 or PSL0102WBEC1 be used as direct drop-in replacements for XMLBWT-00-0000-000PS50E7?

A: No. While all three parts share the identical 2020 (5050 Metric) package footprint and surface mount mounting type, the substitute parts differ significantly in forward voltage (3.3V vs. 2.72V), operating current (120mA vs. 700mA), and color temperature (5000K cool white vs. 3000K warm white). Circuit redesign is required to accommodate these electrical differences.

Q: What are the key physical compatibility factors?

A: The 2020 (5050 Metric) package and surface mount mounting type are identical across all three parts, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility. However, the substitute parts have lower seated height (0.039" vs. 0.124"), which may affect vertical clearance in space-constrained applications.

Q: Are the substitute parts still available for procurement?

A: Both substitute parts are classified as obsolete products. PSL0102WBEB1 has 2638 units in stock and PSL0102WBEC1 has 1627 units in stock at the time of this reference. However, obsolete status indicates discontinued manufacturing, and future availability cannot be assured.

Q: What is the primary reason to consider substitution?

A: Substitution becomes necessary only when the primary part (XMLBWT-00-0000-000PS50E7) experiences supply unavailability or extended lead times. The primary part maintains active product status and current stock availability.

Q: How do the optical performance characteristics compare?

A: The XMLBWT-00-0000-000PS50E7 delivers 177lm at 85°C and 89 lm/W efficiency. The substitute parts deliver significantly lower flux output (38lm and 30lm respectively at 25°C) due to their lower operating current (120mA vs. 700mA). CRI values differ: XMLBWT at 85, PSL0102WBEB1 at 80, and PSL0102WBEC1 at 90.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all three parts?

A: All three parts maintain RoHS compliance (RoHS Compliant for XMLBWT; ROHS3 Compliant for both PSL0102 variants) and REACH unaffected status. Both substitute parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 3 (168 Hours) rating.
